Although the Alias support and long file name support in PM 5 (b12) is a big improvement on earlier versions, it is still less then satisfactory. I just moved an attachment from the attachment folder to a folder on a separate partition and PM 5 was unable to follow the link. Some method for reestablishing broken links, or tracing files when they are moved to another partition, would be welcome.
