All is well. But now, I would like to consolidate all my apps to one folder on my desktop, call it APPS. If I just drag the app from the DOWNLOADS folder to the desktop folder, Android gets hysterical and can't find the files (It's interesting that doing the same thing with iOS apps works, Xcode finds them in the new folder!) So my question is, if it's possible to move the android files to a new location? Thanks.
