I do also have the problem that icons mix up because all my working
copies exist on a SUBST drive (for the same reasons already mentioned in
this thread). I tried the suggestion to use a loopback network drive
instead. The problem with this is that disk I/O throughput is cut down
by a factor of two (at least on my machine). So compiler/linker runs
much slower which is bad.
Is there any chance that the problems with SUBST drives will be fixed in
future releases, or are there serious technical problems?
