"Old" symlinks? Aliases are so old they are rancid...
Obviously symlinks work better. Symlinks are the real thing, aliases are some strange Mac OS Classic left-overs.

I also preferred to use symbolic links when I first switched to Mac, as I was already familiar with them from my UNIX or Linux experience. I don't know how exactly aliases work, but I noticed that aliases keep track of the destination, so for example if I move the destination folder, I don't have to manually update the symbolic link. That is a big advantage.

I like it when aliases work even after I've moved the destination folder, but it doesn't always happen, so I've gotten out of the habit of trusting it. I don't why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. |
