So I moved the 'Developer' folder I'd started with to my new external drive, and used SymbolicLikner to create a symlink. It's probably not too hard, but SymbolicLinker 1.1 is freeware and is very safe and convenient. Some non-Apple deletion tools get confused by a soft symlink and delete the originals.
Main limitation is it holds a hard coded path. One is like a Microsoft Windows shortcut/alias. This is a Unix thing, too 'advanced' even for my O'Reilly OS X Unix book! Losing the innate indirection design of Mac Classic is quite sad.īut the documentation mentioned 'symlinks'. The original Mac didn't have these problems - but OS X is more like Windows. Symboliclinker MacSo I try the install - and discover it wants to install on my boot disk! Sigh.
SymbolicLinker does this by adding a contextual menu item to the Finder that generates symbolic links to the selected files. SymbolicLinker is a tiny contextual menu plugin (for Puma through Leopard users) and software service (for Snow Leopard & later users) that, once installed, allows any user to create symbolic links to files inside the Finder.
