[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1105866, member: 110816"] I feel your pain as I had the same problem with my 27" iMac..dragging across the screen I usually end up dropping the files somewhere and then have to go hunting.. You don't have to open two finder windows to move/copy a file from one location to another..grab the file in it's source location and then in the same Finder window drag over to the destination, if you want a sub-directory, then just hover over the top most directory where your destination is and Finder will open that directory for you, and then continue dragging until you get to your final destination and then release the mouse button to drop. Having said that, there's no reason you can't use the CMD+X, CMD+V option..that still works..though I've found that you need to make sure you are in the thumbnail mode of Finder (when viewing a directory) to make sure you drop the file in the right place. By thumbnail I mean the 4 options you have to view your directories (thumbnail, list, 3-split, and coverflow).. Regards [/QUOTE]
