I don't mind having to manually move them (although an option would be nice). I just hope that the App Store will still detect them for updates when they are moved to another volume and directory. I also wonder how all the "extras" that used to come with manual install are going to be delivered. Personally, I like to have a folder for each app with extra stuff, license info, documentation etc. Cheers, Ashley. PS I wish the whole domains thing with ~/Applications /Application /Network/Applications (and similar Libraries) would work a whole lot better with Apple and third-party applications.

I was rather annoyed to find that the App Store would not let you specify ~/Applications as its download target, and now some of the developer things like XCode and unnamed others are also being dropped in /Applications where, to my mind, they have no business being. > > I'm getting tired of manually having to manage every App Store download. > > _______________________________________________ > MacOSX-admin mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-admin
