[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1428211, member: 38864"] No. I mean symbolic link. They ultimately serve the same purpose, and the Finder thinks they are the same thing, but the BSD subsystem of OS X doesn't know how to handle aliases. If you stick to using symlinks for folders, then any processes that expect a folder/file to be in a specific place will accept a symlink as if it was that folder/file. [/QUOTE]
