- The app gets launched from whichever disk was mounted last, and on a particular
- disk, the first entry in the DeskTop file is used.
-
- This has the really obnoxious effect of always launching an application from
- a fileserver even if there is a copy of the app on your hard disk.
-
- I haven't found any predictable way to reorder the entries in the DeskTop file.
-
- A "third party marketing opportunity" would be a Finder Hack that lets a user
- manually pick out which application they really want launched, and have it
- remembered. If it can't be found, then the Finder would continue its search
- path.
