Cannot change between images that are symlinks #828

What Happened?

The left and right change buttons are unavailable when directory has symlinks to images, rather than real files. Any other way of scrolling between photos fails as well.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create this directory structure:
imgs-structured/A/my-labelled-image-1.JPEG (symlink -> imgs-buffer/00A/0000.JPEG)
imgs-structured/A/my-labelled-image-2.JPEG (symlink -> imgs-buffer/0BC/0000.JPEG)

imgs-buffer/00A/0000.JPEG (real file)
imgs-buffer/0BC/0000.JPEG (real file)
  1. Open imgs-structured/A/my-labelled-image-1.JPEG

Expected Behavior

The Photos app can navigate.
Important: it should navigate between different symlinks, not in the resolved directory like imgs-buffer/00A/.
