Work around an Adobe 8 Reader self-healing annoyance
Exactly. There's no reason at all to move applications around and put them in folders. The reason I say this is if you have to go into your applications folder to launch an application in the first place, you aren't working as efficiently as you can.

And yet we have this handy "go->applications' shortcut in the Finder, with the easy-to-remember apple-shift-A shortcut. Got that application you use once every quarter, can't remember its name, don't want it cluttering up your dock? Apple-shift-a and dig around. Except Applications is a mess. So we make folders in it.
Yeah, I know, this is the age of tagging and smart search and we're not supposed to ever care about the file structure on our disk any more. Sometimes folders work for a memorable scheme. Some stuff works in a folder off of Applications, some doesn't. I've gotten used to Adobe's apps not being able to launch their own help since CS2, for instance, since I keep them and their annoying standalone help application in a 'gfx' directory of my applications along with my other graphics tools...

That's fine, but you still have to dig through folders. I hate digging through folders. I rarely open the Applications folder, being that it is such a mess, if I don't have to. I don't even open my hard drive very often.

Only a VERY few badly programmed apps and updaters have problems with putting apps wherever you desire. Like all the Apple stuff? If you look into it, it's quite a list, and not only Apple apps. If anything, the programmers are following Apple's guidelines. Do you know the definition of asinine? I agree it shouldn't be that way, but it is. So the advise stands on its own merits. ---

What a maroon. Oh I forgot... that's not actually a word, as used in the Bugs Bunny sense. So either you are speaking of a color, or you are stranded somewhere... --- |
