Hi all,
I need a solution for repointing aliases to a different server (and a
slightly changed folder hierarchy).
My problem is, that the "original item" of a Finder "alias file" is
only available when the respective volume is mounted. But the aliases
are kind of orphaned - the original server is not available any
more...
I would like to check each alias file, whether it points to the
server in question and if, get the path from the alias file, modify
it and set its "original item" to the equivalent position on the new
one.
Does anybody know of a method running under 10.3 to get at these
infos from an orphaned alias file?
Thanks for any help,
Helmut
