Hi,
I have two applications folders on my hard drive (only 1 user): the
'stock' applications folder, and then a 'user' folder where I put
Camino, Firefox, Toast and other things that I specifically add - for
ease of backup. A full system restore will replace the stock apps -
save the Safari and other upgrades - sometimes upgraded Safari goes
in the 'User Applications' folder as well.
This works - except it means I have two 'Applications' folders in
the sidebar (rarely ever used), or QuickSilver (MUCH more often used
- I need to pull the code and add a 'use per day' indicator for it
somewhere!)
The other place it doesn't seem to work (so far) is in the Keyboard
pref pane's keyboard shortcuts tab - 'User' Applications aren't
picked up for that menu - only ones in 'genuine' /Applications.
Is there a way to use hard links to link not just a single file/
directory into another place, but the entire contents of a directory
into another directory? So that my /Applications folder would show
all my apps, even though some were in "~/Applications (U)"? And
presumably the keyboard pref pane would pick up hard links (that is
what a hard link is, right?)
Thanks,
Jim
