Diva's browser doesn't support a symlink?

I like to keep all of my 3rd party sound sets grouped together on my disk. I tried putting a symlink in the presets folder for Diva to my common folder, but Diva's browser doesn't seem to read the folders pointed to by my symlink. Is there any way to get Diva's browser to point to any other folder for sounds in addition to the OS common presets folders for it?

It works for me (on OS X); I have a symlink to a folder inside my Dropbox in:
Fwiw, I created the symlink using "ln -s" on the command line, not using the "Make Alias" command in Finder.
But, iirc, there's a little catch that Urs mentioned elsewhere (I think I had the exact same issue before): you can only use symlinks in subfolders of the presets root folder for an u-he plug-in. So, I think you can not place the entire "Diva" folder elsewhere and symlink to it from ~/Library/Audio/Presets/u-he/. Hope this helps!

That's exactly what I needed. I created an alias in Finder, but this worked exactly. Thanks!Fwiw, I created the symlink using "ln -s" on the command line, not using the "Make Alias" command in Finder.
