[QUOTE="natio, post: 955209, member: 133892"] After testing and doing some research I see Mac does things a little different when copy & pasting a folder when comparing to several Linux flavors I have used. I understand that this is not considered a bug and do see the logic behind copy/pasting a folder should do just that and not merge the two folders. But... Is there no merge function available for Finder or even Pathfinder as far as I know. I see Pathfinder has a plug-in but its really weak as its a pop-up of sorts and that is not really merging folders the "easy" way. I know you can do this via command line but the reason I left Linux, is I wanted a stable OS outside the command line. :) Any thoughts or advice on how to do this would be appreciated. If anyone knows a method to merge using Finder that is cool too, actually wondering how everyone merges folders using Mac in general. Is everyone using the command line method or is there other methods I overlooked? [/QUOTE]
