A caution on network-based aliases and the sidebar
It doesn't surprise me that the Finder sidebar dereferences aliases. Having written similar functionality in a Windows application a few years back, it's not terribly clear how aliases should be handled. You can make a case either way, and certainly there are lots of reasons why dereferencing an alias can make things easier for the user.
A caution on network-based aliases and the sidebar
I guess my expectation is that an object in the sidebar is still in the Finder, and as such, it should follow the rules of the Finder. Aliases in the Finder are not dereferenced, yet that very same folder is dereferenced when placed in the sidebar. |
