Description
Tell us how we can improve Xcodes
Add an option to specify the path Xcodes creates the symbolic link in.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I changed the Install path to install each version into/Applications/Xcode Versions/
Using the naming conventional Xcode-x.x.x.app
but the symbolic link is created automatically in the same directory /Applications/Xcode Versions/
when I would like it to be in /Applications/
What would you like to see? How would you like it to work?
under settings > advanced
under the Automatically create symbolic link to Xcode.app option
add a textbox with the default value of /Applications
which can be changed to any valid path
use this path to automatically create the symbolic link in.

Research direction
Start in Settings > Advanced by locating the existing “Automatically create symbolic link to Xcode.app” option and the code that creates the link. Done means the setting defaults to /Applications, accepts a valid custom path, and creates the symbolic link there.
