[Idea] Put real path in Database, resolving symlinks

I just recently came up with the idea to create a special folder "latest" that is basically a container for links to my most recent video files[1]. I have discovered, that symbolic links are not resolved to their real path.

My proposed idea is quite simple: In

Code:

CHDFile::GetLocal

do a

Code:

path = realpath(path);

on the requested path.

What do you think?
