10.4: iSync fails to run when moved
Authored by: robg on May 23, '05 08:09:07PM

I was referring mainly to updates, sorry, I should have added that. Yes, Apple (and other) apps will run just fine from other spots, mostly. There are some games, for instance, that I've owned that simply would not run unless located in /Applications. Same for some minor utilities.

But upgrades are the real reason not to move things about -- the updaters always seem to be hardcoded to update only within /Applications. Hence, in the long run, it's just easier to leave things where they be...at least, that's my method :).

So, I wouldn't call your opinion unfounded, rob. :)
