Alias files

Maybe for the feature request section but could be viewed as a bug also(?) Double clicking a Finder alias to a mp3 file works fine, but dragging aliases to the playlist won't play them.

it would be nice if VLC could resolve folder aliases in the the playlist too.

I've only recently had this problem on my Mac. I used to be able to put a number of aliases into VLC and it would play them all fine. Now it can't find them. I can double click and it will open in VLC if it's an .flv file, but others will open Quicktime. Aliases still work in playlists created before this new version, but "reveal in finder" is not available as obviously it's forgotten where the aliases are. Bad programming, folks.
