I store some of my models on the main drive and some of them on an external drive, to keep them all in the same place, I use symlinks. When the drive is disconnected, an infinite loop of alert windows appears, asking me to change the models directory. The models directory still exists and it is non-empty, the symlink to my main drive still exists and points to the models on the main drive.
Expected behavior:
Symlinks that cannot be accessed are ignored, or an alert about their status appears once.
Current behavior:
A single inaccessible symlink prevents to use the application showing an infinite loop of alert windows.
