Description A Katz 2014-06-16 12:31:42 UTC
Baloo does not follow symlinks.
For example a directory is at /mnt/homedisk/Documents, with a link at /home/user/Documents.  If i attempt to get metadata from the original (/mnt) file baloo will return it just fine. However a search for the /home location shows the file is not found. This is particularly an issue when using dolphin as files will not show information even when indexed

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a Softlink to a Directory
2.Index The Actual location
Actual Results:  
Baloo will not resolve the link to the original file and will not show it as being in the database

Expected Results:  
Baloo should follow the softlink when given to find the actual location and return correct data
