[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1903726, member: 204485"] I don't think rlm45 is trying to copy but actually move the files from one location (Folder) to another. I encounter this a bit myself. For example I have a Folder on my desktop called DT Stuff, a temporary resting place for files I have downloaded from the internet or email. Say I want to move one or more file from DT Stuff to my Pictures folder. With the DT Stuff folder open on the desktop I can open [I]another [/I]Finder window from the File Menu , select and open the Pictures folder from the Sidebar. Now that I have two folders open on two seperate Finder windows I can drag the item/s from the open DT Stuff folder to the open Photos folder easily. Having more than one Finder window open is the key to this. That works for me but on occasion I have just tried to drag from the DT Stuff folder to the Pictures folder on the sidebar and missed, ending up with the item/s in the Recents folder instead so I understand your issue. If you move files to a particular folder frequently you could also put an Alias of that destination folder on the Dock. I have one just for handy Mac articles. With average Dock magnification on it's pretty hard to miss. I cannot think of another way of doing this in an easier way. [/QUOTE]
