SymbolicLinker works from Mac OS X 10.6 up to macOS 10.14 Mojave and its installation doesn’t require special competences. SYMBOLIC LINKER’S INSTALLATIONīy default, their creation is not direct in macOS but requires using the Terminal which appears to most of us complicated to say the less and few of us like to use it….įortunately, there is a utility program called SymbolicLinker that allows creating Symbolic Links very easily directly from the Finder and can be downloaded at this address. They are called Symbolic links and their use is the topic we’ll describe right now. A symbolic link created at the command line allows a linked object in the file system to point to an original object in a different location.

However (and fortunately for us) in macOS systems, there is another type of alias that may really deceive the attention of Logic Pro X (as well as other software or virtual instruments) so that Logic still believes that the folder is at its original location and that its content has not been moved away. Indeed, Logic won’t be able to copy the downloaded files in the correct folder through an alias. Once the sound library is moved to another location through an alias, it will work well and Logic Pro X will use it properly but will be excluded of any updates when Apple add some new sound files. Let’s take the following example using Logic Pro X. However, the use of alias is not - as ones could believe – fully « transparent » and the sound libraries included in it will not be functional at 100 %. Those alias are easily recognized since the file/ folder is associated to a small arrow like in the example shown below. Let’s briefly remind that an alias is like a virtual folder that seems to be where you see it but in fact it’s like a « hub » that brings you where it is really located on your internal or even external Hard Disk. Many options are proposed and especially the one using the alias concept. In addition to the space recovered, your computer will work faster and smoother. The original Mac didn't have these problems - but OS X is more like Windows.

So I try the install - and discover it wants to install on my boot disk Sigh. Tons of utilities, documentation, AppleScript studio - you name it. However, those sound libraries don’t necessarily need to be located on the internal HD and may be fully functional even located on an external one. SymbolicLinker Now that I had my big external drive, the next step was to download and install the OS X development tools. This holds especially true for SSD Drive due to their high-speed response whilst their price are still a little bit expensive especially if ones is interested by high storage capacity. With this increased amount of data, the internal hard disk may quickly suffer of lack of space and an external HD may be of interest to make the job. On Mac OSX, we can't create hard links using the ln command.Today, there’s a huge number of sound files or data that can be used in our DAW. Usage: hardlink /home/username/foldername/ /home/username/Documents/Cloud/foldername/ Installation: 1) make 2) sudo make install
Now, you can sync specific folders to your Google Drive since that GDrive does not allow for actual symbolic links (ln -s) to create files that will be uploaded to the 'cloud'.Īuthor: Sam Allows for the user to create hardlinks of directories. SymbolicLinker can be found at as-well as.
#Symboliclinker os x mac osx#
Synopsis: One of two viable options I have found to create hard-links of directories from other directories on your system directly to Google Drive has been hardlink.c (by Sam, on Github) and a Mac OSX Application called SymbolicLinker.
