hi,
today I was wondering if the following was possible: I want to create aliases of the CONTENTS of a folder automated. So what this means:
I have "Folder 1" on HDD1 and "Folder 2" on HDD2. Now I want the contents of those folders to be shown together inside "Folder 1" (as if all those files were inside Folder 1), but I want the actual files to stay where they are (splitted between folder 1 and 2).
I thought the best way would probably be either a startup script or a folder action, but I don't really have any idea for both.
I tried to do it with a folder action. I was able to create a workflow that created an alias in Folder 1, every time a file was added in folder 2. the problem is that the alias is not deleted when the file is deleted from folder 2, which is annoying.
any ideas how to this?
thanks!
