Friends,

When I was working on Installing OS X Lion, I took the opportunity to separate my core OS from my data in applications in preparation for an eventual upgrade where I would get an optibay, have my core os on a (small) SSD, and then having everything else as a symlink to the data HDD.

While this has gone mostly great with the App Store, Finder, the Dock, etc having no problem with the symlink, Launchpad doesn't seem to be as smart. It only picks up stuff that the app store installs into it. I've tried the trick of clearing out it out in terminal, applications like Launchpad Control, and nothing works. My launchpad looks like this:

Do you have any suggestions for something I could do to fix this?
