Hey Cara,
Perhaps QuickAccess provided you with another menu option under automater. I
mean, it's an option under contextual menus so, I would imagine, it's
offering the possibility of incorporating QuickAccess with Automater
functions.

Subject: Re: new menu option?
No, I most certainly did not unintentionally install the move util,
<smile> as I totally intentionally installed it! lol!
This though, is a different option altogether and is outside the
Automator menu under the more menu. lol! Jeez, did that make sense?
Anyway, if I go to my more menu, here's what I have.
• Quick Access
• Move to
• Copy to
• Make Alias in
• Send {selected file} to bluetooth Device
• Enable Folder Actions
• Configure Folder Actions
I should mention here, that I'm using Column mode.
Anyway, HTH and have a great day!…
Smiles,
Cara :)

I can't find anything to do with moving. Unless perhaps "send to" has
something to do with it. Anyone know what "WM_Administrat2 " is?
Yeah you might have installed that move utility thing without knowing it.
But certainly there is no such functionality included with OS anything
right now.
I remember Greg mentioned a while back that the reason why we don't have
something liek ctrl x to cut files in os x, is because that means that
the file is temporarily destroyed and if you copy something else to the
clipboard, it will be gone forever (the file you were moving). But I
wonder if there is not a way we could just attach an earmark for a file
to be moved. Press ctrl x, and instead of copying the file to the
clipboard, it puts a tag of some sort that instructs the system to do the
equiv of a mouse drag to the folder that someone selects with another
command like ctrl c or perhaps ctrl shift x or something else. If I
press ctrl x to earmark a file for moving, and then press ctrl c to copy
another file to the clipboard, the earmark on the first will just
disappear.
But in the mean time I use terminal. And I sure would like a syntax for
selecting multiple files for moving or copying in terminal. I think I
asked this a while back and didn't see an answer.

Hey All, have you seen the Move to option in Finder? I'm not talking
about the automator option, I'm talking about a specific 'Move to'
option which is now in the 'More' menu of Finder.
Has this been added in 10.5.2?
Smiles,
Cara :)
