Another gripe
I was doing this to get my Utilities folder to appear at the top of column view, but then ran into a problem that others reported as well: on running an OS update, if the folders where the installers looks to update stuff has been renamed, the update will be messed up (my Print Center was hosed by the move to 10.1.2 because of this). So change your folder names to your heart's content, but beware the new "update installer bug"! And by all means, complain to Apple at the feedback page about this, and anything else that goads you! [What happened to "Thinking differently"?]
Not Apple's Problem
It's true that Apple has had some problems with the issue of renaming folders or moving apps/folders.
Not Apple's Problem
You make an excellent point, and perhaps my next hint should consist of a script to make alias/symbolic links to every app in the /Applications and place into another user definable/changeable place. That way dumb updates won't foul up your current installation. |
