[QUOTE="Wish_4_A_Mac, post: 107741, member: 6757"] No I do drag and drop all the time but it gets inconvenient when moving multiple files and subdirectories (say like 100 .jpegs or something like that) from a given directory. Although I could press option-A to select them all (or hold down option and select just the ones I wanted) and drag them to the folder, what if the folder isn't visible in finder or the current view in finder doesn't allow me to drag and drop? Yes I could use expose but it would be more convenient to have the cut or move option as on Windows. Now don't get me wrong. I CAN'T STAND Windows, it's AWFUL, but this is clearly a rare occasion where Windows has an advantage over Mac OS X. If there are any Apple programmers reading this who will be working on "Lion" or whatever the next OS will be called, perhaps they might consider implementing this feature because it would not be difficult to code, because Longhorn will certainly allow cutting and pasting of files by use of menus or keys! Hmmm. Perhaps I might even email Apple myself... [/QUOTE]
