Describe the bug
Junctions to folders within Interface/AddOns are ignored by Ajour.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install an add-on with Ajour : The add-on shows up under "My adons"
  2. Close Ajour
  3. Move the installed add-on folder to another location
  4. Create a junction in the WoW AddOns folder to the new location (ie `mklink /J "C:\Games\World of Warcraft_retail_\Interface\AddOns\MyAddon" "C:\WoWAddOns\MyAddon"``)
  5. Launch Ajour

Expected behavior
The previously installed addon is still visible under "My Addons".

Screenshots
The previously installed addon is no longer visible under "My Addons". Under "Catalog", it's shown as not installed.

Software involved
Please complete the following information:

  • OS: Windows 10
  • Ajour version: 1.2.5

Additional context
Symlinks on Mac and Linux should be tested as well.

Symlinks work and should work on Windows, too. Is there a specific reason you're creating a junction /J vs a symbolic link /D?

Creating a symbolic link requires privilege elevation unlike junctions.
