Tidy up the Applications folder with symbolic links
Authored by: dwt on Nov 28, '03 11:29:34AM

I recommend to use an Alias for the task at hand.

You said that an alias woldn't follow to an replaced app, though this is not correct.

An Alias always tries the path first and only if that fails recovers to the inode information it too stores.

So replacing one app for another works great with an alias too, just try it.

p.s.: To solve the organisational problem I recommend LaunchBar from OBDev though.
