Although OS X is the most superior operating system there is, I've always though it had one serious flaw. Whenever I wanted to move a folder or a file from one location to another, I had to drag it around through the system. I had to select the file, drag it onto a folder, wait for the springloaded folder to open, locate the desired folder and release the mousebutton,- that is if the destinationfolder is located futher down the hierachy. If the desired destinationfolder was in turn placed inside two or three folders this would soon become annoying. Offcourse, I could always open another Finder window, but that takes up a lot of screenspace and is, I think, poor screen "realestate". Luckyly, someone has made a small contextual menu (CM) plugin to fix that nuisance. The CM is called QuickAccess CM, and can be downloaded and used for free, from the www.Abracode.com website. Download the file (unstuff if necessary) and place it in the following folder: Home (user)->Library->Contextual Menu Items, and then log out/log in. If you now have to move or copy a file to a location on the hd, just control+click (or right-click if you have a two-button mouse) the file, select "move to"/"copy to" and then locate the desired destinationfolder for the file(s) from the opening dialogue. Actually it works just like when you control+click (or right-click if you have a two-button mouse) file and selects "Move to trash",- but with this CM installed you have more than just one option for a destination.
The CM is especially usefull if you have to move multiple files. Did I mention the CM is completely free...I did, didn't I? Enjoy :-)
