[Gambas-user] DirChooser does not see symlink'd directories

Hi,

I recently (maybe it was yesterday?) rolled an overdue Gambas update and I
just noticed that the IDE won't let me browse to my projects directory
anymore which I like to access through a symlink on my desktop.

Seems like the Dir-/FileChooser are the root cause. The attached project
will create a symlink /tmp/tmp-link which points to /tmp and point a
FileChooser to /tmp. On my system the symlink is shown as a file and is not
"enter-able" like a directory would be. Screenshot attached.

Before, symlinks that point to directories showed up in the directory part
of the FileChooser and were indistinguishable from real directories, i.e. I
could click on them to enter the linked directory.

Is this behaviour controlled by Gambas? I honestly don't know when I had my
last Gambas update. Might be that a system update lies in between and
libraries changed...

Regards,
Tobi
