Finding things in Finder · Moved and offloaded apps in Finder
When I move an app back, does it return to the same folder it came from, like Utilities?
Short answer: Yes. Storage Studio remembers whether an app came from Applications, your personal Applications folder, Setapp or Utilities, and Move back or Restore returns it to exactly that folder.
Yes. Storage Studio notes which folder each app came from — your main Applications folder, your personal Applications folder, the Setapp folder or Utilities — and puts it back in exactly that one, whether you use Move back from the Moved tab or Restore from the Offloaded tab.
In the Apps window, each app carries a small chip showing its folder: a building for the system-wide Applications folder, a person for your own, S for Setapp and a wrench for Utilities.
After moving back, the shortcut is removed and Spotlight, the Dock and Launchpad find the app straight away.
