Describe the problem

From issue:
I am using Phoenix code on Mac. What I found out is that I can't open folders in phcode if they have any symbolic links in them. Has anyone else seen this and is there a way to get around this?

I can duplicate this problem as follows:

  1. Create a top level directory.
  2. Create directory and add a single file.
  3. Start phcode and click on Open Folder.
  4. Navigate to the test directory. Note that Phcode can successfully open this directory in phcode and the file created in step 1 is visible.
  5. Exit phcode
  6. Add a symbolic link to another file (or directory) inside the test directory.
  7. Start phcode and click on Open Folder.
  8. Navigate to the test directory. Note that Phcode won't open the test directory.

Describe the solution you'd like

should be able top open projects with symbolic links
