[QUOTE="Kokopelli, post: 107711"] Yes, when you think about it Macs behavior is more proper. When you are copying a folder you are copying the folder and all contents to a new location, over writing any folder of the same name. You are not copying the contents of a folder to another folder of the same name. See the difference? I too have been bitten by this learned behavior though. I wish OS X had a "merge contents when copying folders" option, but alas that is not the case. [/QUOTE]
