From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529 BuildID: 20020529 I have a "deployment" folder on my hard disk that contains the real images folder. I then have several "project" folders for development that just contain an alias to the images folder (named just "images" of course, not "images alias"!!!). When viewing (or editing with Composer) a page in one of my dev folders, I'd like to see the images! Note that this works in iCab. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.create "deploy" folder on hard disk 2.create "images" folder inside that 3.create "dev" folder on hard disk (not inside either of the above) 4.cmd-option-drag images to dev to create an alias 5.add an image to the images folder 6.create a test page that references the image, e.g. "images/foo.jpg" 7.view the dev page Be sure to test in composer as well. :) Actual Results: no images Expected Results: show the images

fwiw, with linux trunk cvs 2002-06-21 using a symlink to images directory works in browser and composer
Scott, in your step 6, I presume you mean we should save the test page inside [dev/], correct?
Yes, sorry I wasn't clear. Here's a sample directory tree -- though the test should (when fixed) work even if DEPLOY and DEV are on completely different folders, hard disks or computers (if mounted): Bug 153411 deploy images foo.jpg test_deploy.html -- not required but just to confirm the basics work dev images [an alias to the above images folder] test_dev.html -- include a reference to images/foo.jpg At the moment, test_deploy.html will (of course) display the image. test_dev.html will NOT. Thanks for taking a look.
Confirmed using Mac/2002080208/9.2.2. Reassigning to Networking: File.

I don't know if the alias will be preserved, so you may need to check it.

Target Milestone: --- → Future
This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies there as well or resolve this bug. I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken. To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".
Per the previous note, I have targetted the bug at MacOS X. Unfortunately I can't test it there at the moment -- i.e. it may already work. (It's nice that someone tested it on Linux.) Feel free to grumble that I shouldn't change the OS without testing ... meanwhile, I'm grumbling that you dropped support for MacOS 9.
OS: Mac System 9.x → MacOS X
No morphing please. Bugs that relate to OS-specific file types (we have windows-specific versions of this type of bug) should stay that way. If you find this in Mac OS X (or if I ever get around to looking at it), we need to file for Mac OS X-only. Someone please verify wontfix for me if they concur...
