So, I have a folder on a shared drive that I wish to have aliased on my desktop. How do I do this? Well, Finder offers me "make alias". But that wants to make the alias into the same directory as the directory. Where I don't have sufficient privileges. And if I try to drag the folder, Finder attempts to copy it. (with any modifier key, except "command" which initiates a move).
So, hateful software, w.t.f. isn't there an option to do what I need? Drag me a nice alias to somewhere else. With the same name even. (other hate about the usual 3 step process - make alias, move, rename) I thought that this operating system was supposed to have an easy to use user interface. Hatefully it seems not. Either that or their all a bunch of trusting hippies over in Cupertino who have no need for security on their own server systems, so don't see the reason for anyone else to need it. Nicholas Clark
