Let's say I have a file named "ABC.pdf". I create an alias, which by default is named "ABC.pdf alias".
Questions:
1. If I change the name of the alias to "XYZ.pdf alias" (nothing else has that name), will it still point to ABC.pdf?
2. If I change the name of ABC.pdf to XYZ.pdf and keep the alias as "ABC.pdf alias", will it still point to the newly named XYZ.pdf?
My thinking is that alias references are name independent and using something else to make the connection. Yes, I could do the checking myself, but would like a more technical resolution to my questions. Thanks.
Not interested in using a symbolic link at this time.
