Hi, Is there a way to have a file (lets say an MP4 or a JPEG) be available for access and use from multiple finder folders without it actually being duplicated multiple times. Just like the way you can create playlists in the Apple Music App and Apple TV Apps on Mac without the files actually being duplicated.
Any ideas are welcome and many thanks in advance for any assistance.

Make an Alias (File menu > Make Alias) or drag and drop while holding down cmd+option.

Hi again Barney,
I hope I'm not asking too much here but you may also be able to help with this little hiccup i've come across since you introduced me to Alias shortcuts.
The original folder icon has been edited to show a .jpg image instead of the standard blue folder. The Alias folder does not retain this .jpg image but merely shows a blue folder with the little arrow up to indicate it's a shortcut and when trying to simply re copy and paste it into the "Get info" tab folder icon it does not take. Any ideas?
Cheers again!
Thank you, Thats looks like it will do what I want. You're awesome!!!
I don’t know. It’s not something I’ve done, so no experience with the problem. I do remember seeing some posts about it, but didn’t follow them.
Ok Thanks, I have found a few different blogs about the same issue but nothing that has fixed the issue for me so far.
You’re still awesome.
Paul.
