I think this should work fine already. The way SymlinkProgram has always worked for me is that if some directory is only in one Program, it links the directory; but later, if a different Program has a file in that directory, it "unrolls" the directory, symlinks all the individual files in the old Program, then adds the symlink to the new Program. So as long as you use Script tools for everything, situations like this should resolve themselves transparently. In fact, I just tried it out. Here you can see a symlink to a directory turning itself into a directory of links: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]cd /etc [EMAIL PROTECTED] /System/Settings]ll -d hcfpcimodem ... hcfpcimodem -> /Programs/HCFPCIModem/Settings/hcfpcimodem [EMAIL PROTECTED] /System/Settings]ls hcfpcimodem/ nvm package [EMAIL PROTECTED] /System/Settings]cd /Programs/LessOpen/Settings [EMAIL PROTECTED] /Programs/LessOpen/Settings]mkdir hcfpcimodem [EMAIL PROTECTED] /Programs/LessOpen/Settings]cd hcfpcimodem/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] /Programs/LessOpen/Settings/hcfpcimodem]touch HEY [EMAIL PROTECTED] /Programs/LessOpen/Settings/hcfpcimodem]cd [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]SymlinkProgram LessOpen/ ...
