Bug Description

Olive appears to crash when it is run from a directory that contains a broken symlink. My home directory has a broken symlink so I cannot start Olive at all. (I have since removed the file).

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/olive-gtk", line 95, in <module>
    app = OliveGtk()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/olive/__init__.py", line 217, in __init__
    self._load_right()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/olive/__init__.py", line 936, in _load_right
    statinfo = os.stat(self.path + os.sep + item)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/pcmacman/brokenlink'

Currently running 0.17.0-1 of bzr-gtk under Ubuntu Gutsy.

Are you sure? I couldn't reproduce this in any way on Olive 0.15.2...

confirming this. I had this problem today, olive did not want to start:

    statinfo = os.stat(self.path + os.sep + item)
OSError: [Errno 2] Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type: '/home/jeff/RIPS'

This symbolic link was made using nautilus, alt-drag-and-dropping a folder from /media/usbdisk/foo to my home folder.
The hard drive is currently unplugged, as such the link appears broken.

Changed in olive:

seems like all olive bugs need to be reassigned to bzr-gtk to be seen
