Work around an Adobe 8 Reader self-healing annoyance
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...

It's a lot easier and more elegant to use a combination of Quicksilver and HimmelBar.

Actually, I mostly launch stuff with QS and the Dock. Popping open a reasonably-organized Applications folder is for those now and then apps that don't get permanent space in either the Dock or in my brain...

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. |
