I had a chance to experiment with this. If I upgrade from .868 to .870 and let .870 run at the end of the install process it behaves as I describe.
If I reboot after the upgrade before letting it run, .870 behaves as it should. Not sure why a reboot is needed for it to recognize the symbolic links (which are of the mklink /d flavor), but I'm going to withdraw the issue with a comment that folks using folders with symbolic links should simply reboot after upgrading and before running .870 I don't see an option to withdraw just now, so if I don't find it an admin can mark the issue withdrawn.

I have many messages like this: [09:43] Unable to move <N:\DC++temp\ELP 1975-05-25 d1t06.flac.PUW3JQHMQ2KI2JVXXELJYN7EIH6KCZGUXFM44TY.dctmp> to <N:\Emerson Lake & Palmer + Related\elp 1974-05-25 Ahoy Halle, Rotterdam, Netherlands cdr\Disc 1\ELP 1975-05-25 d1t06.flac> (The system cannot find the path specified.); renamed to <N:\DC++temp\ELP 1975-05-25 d1t06.flac> The path N:\Emerson Lake & Palmer + Related is a link to a folder on another drive. I can manually move the files so I know the link is working correctly (from a non-elevated command prompt): N:\DC++temp>move "ELP 1975-05-25 d1t06.flac" "N:\Emerson Lake & Palmer + Related\elp 1974-05-25 Ahoy Halle, Rotterdam, Netherlands cdr\Disc 1" 1 file(s) moved. I have had to back off to .868, where this worked fine To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dcplusplus/+bug/1945213/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~linuxdcpp-team Post to : linuxdcpp-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~linuxdcpp-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
