If I
1) Create new library
2) Import tracks from a SUBST drive
3) Delete tracks from library
4) Reimport tracks from the SUBST drive
I expect all the tracks to appear ("Ignore files previously deleted from library" is UNcheckmarked) but only some or none do. I have to delete the library before reimport works.
This does not happen on non SUBST drives.
Can anyone suggest a better workaround?

MJ and MC do not actually know that a drive is a "SUBST (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subst)" drive (if you mean a drive letter that has been created with the SUBST command). The operating system exposes a SUBST drive just like a regular drive.
I use virtual drive letters (substituted) for my complete main library on several PCs and I have never noticed any difference in the behavior when compared with the behavior with non-substituted drives.
Probably something else is going on.

Excellent - thanks.

(I do.)

(I have experienced SUBST drives being not totally equivalent to regular drives e.g. the otherwise excellent FolderSize program does not work on SUBST drives.)

That's good to know.

Your best guess?? :)

Another difference is the fail case operates on the root level and the success cases on a folder.
What level are your successful virtual drive imports operating on?

...What level are your successful virtual drive imports operating on?
I noticed your reply in the release thread and browsed to here (I didn't notice your last reply here earlier).
I have never tested the root of a SUBSTed drive. For example, on this PC I have the audio files in T:\Music\[Album Artist]\[Album]\ and MC sees the "T:\Music\" path as X:\. The file paths inside my main library use the X:\[Album Artist]\[Album]\ rule.

Ah... I wonder if Import works on the root of even a regular HD drive? Sadly I have none free to test.

I'm unable to reproduce any problem with SUBST or root drives using Media Center 15.
Perhaps you could try it.

Thanks. Which build?
