Folder than w. doc/ single item) to a folder by way of click on item > navigate to target folder in the FP menu > choose move or copy or alias does not always work. The new green arrow indicator does not appear, the item is not moved, folder opens instead. The workaround may be deactivate & activate FP in Pref-Panels or restart Finder or just ignore fir a while, it'll work again. I have activated the Services ...> Folder Actions setup… thing, and it happened also immediately thereafter (did not work, then worked on third try). Thanks |

However, this seems to be a problem of the last few versions under SnowLeopard - just like, just to remind you, (-: Finder labels... Thank you - and all the best! |
| vlad 10 Jul 2010, 19:16 | Re: moving objects occasionally not working Folders won't get moved (won't show the green (+) ). It may happen after resetting the Finder (which also seems to cause problems to moveAddict). It may happen when the folder is on an external HD. But it does not always happen. fP always works w. moving documents. |
| turly 12 Jul 2010, 07:18 | Re: moving objects occasionally not working Hmm, there must be something odd with my mechanism for getting whatever the user clicked on. You say it always works for documents, but not always for folders. Can you try this? 1. Select the folder for which you want to pop up the contextual menu. I.e., click it and let go the mouse button so it is selected in the Finder. 2. Control-click or right-click this same folder. Does that work any better? |
