Howdy,

That works until the next OS update (1.8.x --> 1.8.(x+1)) when you have to do that again. (But it is what I do. :-))

Once you have the Library open you can also drag the Proxy Icon for that folder (the little folder icon next to the title) to the Sidebar and it should appear in the Sidebar of any open window. You need only click on that Sidebar icon and the Library folder will open.

Good Luck,
