Title:
  OpenShot can be tricked into importing the same file

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  1) Ubuntu 11.04
  2) PPA
  3) 1.4.0 alfa 1

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Add an "alternative path" to a media file that can be imported into OpenShot by making a symbolic link to the folder it lies in. 
  2) Import the file to OpenShot by navigating through the not-symbolic-link folder.
  3) Import the file again, but this time by navigating through the symbolic link.
  4 ) You should see that the same file has been added twice to the project. This can also be done with symbolic links pointing directly to the files.

  What should happen:
  The program should not allow duplicates of the same file.

  Patch attached.
