153412 - should follow folder alias during local viewing (e.g. for images)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 153411

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Scott Lawton]

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
