Differences between burnable folders and smart folders
by dr_gonzo on Sun 7th Nov 2004 02:21 UTC

A smart folder is a pseudo-folder that holds pointers to files on your hard drive. In order to make a new pointer to a certain file, you simply drag that file to your burnable folder. When you choose to burn your burnable folder, it burns all the files to which it points to a CD.

A smart folder is a saved search done on your file system.

The difference is that burnable folders contain pointers to files that are manually chosen by the user. They are not part of a search, and they therefore may or may not related in any way.

I suppose it's like bookmarking a google search (smart folder) and bookmarking normal web pages that you find (burnable folders).
