10.4: Make the Dictionary safer and easier to use
I'm fairly new to Apple (about 1 year) and why wouldn't they want me to organize my programs so that I can access them (or other programs in the same group) more easily rather than searching through a rather large list of unsorted programs to find what I'm looking for?Well... ask Apple! ;-) In the meantime, as moving things from the Applications folder _is_ in fact dangerous (not to mention renaming...), IMHO you may follow a different route: - Create a folder somewhere (say, in your home/Documents folder); let's say it's called myApps. - Create all the folders you want/need inside that folder (Applications, Accessories, Online, Utilities...). - Fill these subfolders with aliases to the various apps. - Drag the myApps folder to the dock. If you assign a custom icon to the myApps folder, you'll also have a visual clue of its content.
Favorites folder
The ~/Library/Favorites folder was often recommended for storing aliases to apps, etc. but the supportive command-T and shift-command-F shortcuts have changed from "Add to Favorites" to "Add to Sidebar" and from "Go > Favorites" to "Services > Spotlight". And quick access to that folder was also removed from Open/Save dialogs. |
