[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1105975, member: 59143"] Yeah yeah... NOBODY ever wants to admit that this is a fatal flaw of OS X's Finder. It really needs to be updated very badly ! No, there is no cut and paste. Cut only works for text in a document, that's it. Here's two solutions for you. You'll LOVE the second, but please read the first: 1. Copy and paste WILL work, but then you have to delete the original file, which is counter productive and a waste of time. I've pretty much gotten used to opening two finder windows side by side by using CMD+N (while in finder obviously, to create a new Finder window). Now, you might think it's a pain to line up the windows all the time, but there is a solution for this. There is an app called "Size Up". It's pretty freekin' awesome. With keyboard shortcuts (which you can create) make ANY window (app or finder) move to either half the screen on the right or left side or any window move to any quarter of the screen, with equal length and height so everything you need to see is right there.. clearly visible. I use the half screen method all the time for various tasks and it's very easy this way. 2. Ready ? download an app called : [url=http://kapeli.com/]Move Addict[/url] This is an free app, but you are limited to moving 1 file at a time. If you pay for it ($5.99) that limitation is lifted, obviously. I've been using it, and it is exactly what OS X' should be doing natively. Features: Seems to be a good alternative until Apple gets their crap together. Well... a boy can dream, I suppose. Doug [/QUOTE]
