Alias' on OS X

[Dennis Brown]

Hi,

I have a very large list of large files (thousands) that I use as a  
database in my program.  I also use a subset of them for faster  
testing.  At first I was duplicating the subset in another folder,  
but I thought it would be nice to just have an alias of the files I  
wanted to use in that folder.  The problem is that my program is  
happy with the file names except it sees them as empty.  Shouldn't  
they provide the get File: URL command with the data from the  
original file?
