I have a 27" i5 iMac, with an SSD and 2TB HDD.

I have the OS installed on the SSD, along with all applications.

The Pictures folder has been aliased to the HDD, which I did when I first installed Lion. I copied the folder to the HDD using Terminal, so I know that the aliasing was done on a system-level, not just copy and paste.

My issue is, when I try and use Photobooth, I get the "Photobooth could not save your photos at this time" error. I know that this is because of the Pictures folder not being on the same drive as the SSD, but I don't understand why it is an issue, because the rest of the system knows that folder is aliased to the HDD. I would think that Photobooth would recognize the alias, and save the pictures to the HDD.

I have searched for days trying to find a solution, but I can't. I haven't found a way to alter the save-to location for Photobooth, but if I could do that, it should solve my problem.

Any suggestions? I am well versed in OS X, maybe there is something I could do in Terminal?

Thanks!
