Yes, although I don't use the space bar. Sometimes it seems like a timing<br>
(hand/eye coordination, letting go the button) kind of thing. If I hear
the<br>
heads rattle I usually know it's worked. In my case the destination folder's<br>
closed before I realise it hasn't worked.<br>
<br>
I suspect that if I hesitate over the destination folder before letting
go,<br>
it doesn't work.<br>
