applications move to other foders

Question

applications move to other foders

For better ergonomics I have made 4 subfolders in my applications folder and have moved all the corresponding apps.

The problem is that some times (when an application is installed in the apps folder and then I move it to the subfolder issues appear.)

One of them that I just discovered was that image captire was not working properly. I put it back to the root (applications folder) and worked fine.

As I have done this with all my applications , I really don't remember which were installed by me in the subfolders, which in folders and which were already there from apple...

How can I make an order out of this mess?

powerbook 1,5, Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi Yiorgos

Hopefully this is the full list of apps in the basic Tiger installation:

Additionally, all other Apple apps (think iLife etc.), in addition to the Tiger apps, should be in the Applications folder.

Only third party apps can be easily put into sub-folders. And whatever you do don't go tidying up anywhere else outside of your user folder.
