A caution on network-based aliases and the sidebar
Authored by: janaukes on Fri, Nov 9 2007 at 1:00AM PST

I never had any problems with sidebar or Dock, because I didn't modify the items. Maybe I intuitively consider the items as (a kind of) representation of the real object(Plato!)
For me, the aliasses are a independent link to the original object, which you can rename indeed.
As you see I am not a programmer. ;-)
