[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 717765, member: 59143"] I'll tell you why it CAN be so hard... Because when you're doing it with a MacBook, which at times is awkward to control both the key and fingerpad, you might lose your place/footing. That's one thing. Secondly, it most certainly does NOT replace just being able to highlight many files or folders, right click select cut then just move freely to the directory you want to paste them to. It's more of a burden to have to physically drag folders, which at times might also miss the destination by accident. I've run into instances where when I'm simply dragging a folder in an upward direction, in order to get to the top of the screen with the scroll bar, it will over shoot, and go off of the finder page all together. That is not efficient IMO. Sorry but, there are just times when you have to concede to an answer that you do not like, and in this case, I really doubt that if we went head to head, my MBP, your Mac and my Linux box performing the same tasks in this regard, the Linux box would get it done faster and more efficiently %100 of the time. I don't mind learning how to do new things, so don't think I'm opposed to doing what I must. Also, you have to realize, that if it wasn't for the way I worked, (obviously not in the same way as you do) this might not be such a big issue for me. Doug Doug [/QUOTE]
