Let's assume I have configured Ambient like Amiga Workbench, so that moving an icon inside a same device phisically moves it, while moving an icon to a different device physically duplicates it.
Let's assume I have a drawer in DH0:, for example DH0:Test, and I have left it out on Ambient screen.
Now, if I (even accidentally) move its icon from Ambient screen into a different path in DH0: than its original path (for example into DH0:Drawer/ ), the drawer Test is now physically moved into DH0:Drawer and its new full path is DH0:Drawer/Test. But the left out icon still points to DH0:Test evidently and it doesn't get updated. As a result, 1) if the move happened accidentally I may NOT notice that suddently and this can lead do data loss or mess, and 2) if I double click on Ambient left out icon for Test, it can't be opened cos it still points to DH0:Test and not to the new path DH0:Drawer/Test.
I hope u can find some solutions to this problem, thanks
