Create symbolic links for all items in a folder
Moving all your applications to regain disk space is inefficient and usually unnecessary. Why not uninstall infrequently used applications, move older documents, or archive the iTunes songs you never play?
Create symbolic links for all items in a folder
I don't think you can say it's unnecessary or inefficient unless you know the workflow in use here.

When you see someone fumbling around potentially causing future problems for themselves, I think it's perfectly fine to tell someone to stop it.
Create symbolic links for all items in a folder
I keep folders of apps elsewhere because I like them organized by purpose. For example, I have all my font apps in one folder, etc. The reason for not doing this in the Applications folder is because that folder is already cluttered. In my case, I have over 100 items in /Applications, and about 300 apps altogether.

That depends on what apps you use, and what apps I use. They differ, of course. Many of the apps I use insist on the /Applications folder. Many of them are not drag-and-drop installs. I wish all of them were drag-and-drop, and could run from any folder I choose. I prefer that and appreciate it as a useful, important feature. It's one of the things that tips the balance for me when comparing apps. |
