    Default Two SummerBoard theme folders? (1.1.4)

    General info:
    - iPhone firmware 1.1.4
    - Jailbroken using ZiPhone
    - iBrickr fix installed
    - Using iPhoneBrowser v1.5.2.0 under Windows XP


    I just installed SummerBoard and a bunch of themes. Then, I opened up iPhoneBrowser to manually copy a custom theme over, but I noticed that there are two folders containing all of my SummerBoard themes:

    /var/mobile/library/summerboard/themes

    ...and...

    /private/var/mobile/library/summerboard/themes

    From what I can tell, both folders are identical. As a matter of fact, there's more than just SummerBoard stuff in both folders. Each one has identical folders for: /AddressBook/, /Caches/, /CallHistory/, /Cookies/, /Installer/, /Mail/, /Maps/, etc...

    So, it's like there are two copies of everything on my iPhone... One copy in /private/var/mobile/library/* and the other in /var/mobile/library/*.

    Can anyone tell me why there are duplicates of everything? Which one should I use for my SummerBoard themes? If this is "working as designed", it doesn't seem like a very efficient use of storage space to me...

    Thanks!

    Because it is the same folder! It is different paths to the same folder.

    It is not doubled up.

    Whew! I figured that's what was going on, but I don't know anything about the iPhone's directory structure, so I wanted to make sure before I did anything!

    Thanks for the quick reply!
