[QUOTE="djmitch, post: 126660"] I understand that automator application you created didn't work, but wow - thanks so much anyhow for trying this for me! I'm grateful for your effort in this regard. What a statement about the integrity of people on this forum! Your smart folder idea seems like a good one; perhaps I'll experiment with this myself as I learn OS X more. I'd also really like to figure out what Automator is all about as this might provide a solution, too. I really want to find a way around my gripe about the whole file copying thing and the messages that are displayed. I've been very discouraged about this aspect of OS X but I've decided not to let it sour my overall taste of Macs. Nearly everything else is so well thought out that it hit me hard when I discovered that something so simple and practical was not included as part of the Mac OS. It's just hard for this newbie to accept that Macs, too, have their weaknesses so forgive me if I've made "a mountain out of a molehill", although this is an issue of major importance to me based on the volume of files I continually transfer between my hard drive, external drive, and jump drive.
