You're thinking like a programmer. What percentage of users would
even
consider that moving a running app could be a problem? Why should it
be? Many users don't even understand the whole idea of the file
system
hierarchy, let alone such subtleties.
Actually I was thinking about it from a user, customer support, and
business standpoint. When I think about scenarios I've dealt with on
my own or in supporting others and this scenario has never come up.
Granted, there are a great many things that users aren't aware of (nor
should they need to be) and I was making the point that it seemed like
a lot of work for a relatively small payback. I just checked several
apps from Apple and 3rd parties and none that I tried works correctly
in this scenario. Anyway, Sanford has users reporting this problem
and he's trying to find a solution which makes perfect sense to me.
Thanks,
Phil
