Hmmmm now I would imagine the feature is probably enabled in all applications apart from the Finder. But when in finder maybe the option should change to Move instead of Cut. So it would be like copying, accept when you hit Move instead of cut the items are not deleted immediately until you instruct where you want the files moved to. A bit like a copy and paste but without having to go back and delete the files. On 30 Jun 2010, at 16:07, Cody Hurst wrote:
