Does anyone know how to make an alias that is relative (and that *stays* relative across systems)?
I'd like to include an alias to the OmniGraffle stencil folder on the disk images I am making for my maps. However, I don't want a reference to my hard drive (i.e. keep $HOME or ~ at the beginning so it will point to the user directory of whoever opens it...)
I've tried
> ln -s ~/Library/Application Support/OmniGraffle/Stencils
and
> ln -s $HOME/Library/Application Support/OmniGraffle/Stencils
Both make an alias, but it resolves both $HOME and ~ (i.e. the alias is a full path to MY OG folder even when on a different account or user).
