Ahah! So I'm not the only one. The funny thing is that I also suspected I may have been too hasty and tried waiting until the final destination folder had completely opened and was sitting idle for a few seconds before I dropped the file - still no copy. I fink its broke!

Sometimes it seems like a timing (hand/eye coordination, letting go the button) kind of thing. If I hear the heads rattle I usually know it's worked. In my case the destination folder's closed before I realise it hasn't worked. I suspect that if I hesitate over the destination folder before letting go, it doesn't work. _______________________________________________ X4U mailing list X4U at listserver.themacintoshguy.com http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/x4u -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
