Hi. How can I change the default folder for hook files – _NOT_ hook notes?

You could replace the hook files folder with a symlink to wherever you’d like. Tips from other websites:

Thanks so much. I’m glad you posted about hook files, because this feature had escaped me and it is tremendously useful, especially if, as you point out, you combine them with tools like LaunchBar.
