Bug Description

It appears that after I symlink my Videos dir to a dir in other partiton where I keep all my media files, video lens don't show my video files anymore. I deleted ~/.cache/unity-lens-video/videos.db to have it rebuilt the cache but still no luck. When I ran "strings" command on the the file it however dumped all the video filenames I have in my symlink Videos dir

I'm on Trusty by the way
