Is there a way to reorganize the contents of the System Folder ? ie
to move the too many files it contains in various sub-folders while
everything still keeps on working normally (of course) ?
When I open my System Folder I find it hard to believe the Mac has
moved for years to a Hierarchical File System !
So, is there any utility around there (init/cdev or other) ? Also
will it be a feature of the long awaited system 7?
The reason why I ask this is that when one has a Japanese System with
KanjiTalk (which keeps tens of font files in the System Folder) and also
tens of inits, cdevs and wdevs which add to the regular system files
along with the various preference and data files some application need
to have located there, well, then the number of files becomes so high that
not only it takes minutes for the System Folder to open but sometimes
it cannot open at all ("not enough memory...").
I wish I could see instead only a few folders, say, "System Files",
"Printer&HD Drivers", "Basic Cdevs", "Extra Cdevs", "Fonts, DAs etc.",
"Appl. Preferences", "Dictionnaries" and so on so forth.
Thanks in advance,
-Michel.
