Description
Tell us how we can improve Xcodes
First off, thank you for your great work on this app, it saved me a lot of time so far!
It seems the symlink Xcode.app created when activating the option in your settings is an actual symlink to the folder and not an alias to the mac app. If it were an alias, it could be search by alfred or searchlight, for example. Which would be very helpful as I tend to try to open my currently active Xcode a lot of the times just to have to navigate through the search results in alfred.
Best regards,
Martin
