Take the 2-minute tour ×  I use a lot of aliases in my file
system. Many original documents are placed in global
repositories and I access them by aliases grouped in "tag"
folders. Therefore, when I need to delete such a document, I
need to check multiple tag folders to remove the aliases, which
pains.  Is there an application that can check for broken
aliases in Finder (or preferably, a particular folder)? Thanks
in advance.  share|improve this question I'm not at my Mac to
test this fully, but I believe that by using the command in a
previous SU answer along with Hazel, you can create a rule to
either alert you to broken links, color them, delete them, etc.

Whoops, I thought Finder aliases are simply symlinks. Perhaps
not. –  fideli Jan 6 '13 at 0:31 add comment  1 Answer  up vote
