Hi,
A sighted mac user wouldmore than likely drag and drop whatever they
wanted to move. We can do a drag and drop to a certain extent in VO,
but I'm not sure if we can actually move files in this way. WHat
i've done lately, to solve this problem is to download the Automator
workflow that Greg Kearney has available, opened it in automator, and
saved it as a plugin,assigning it to the finder. You can find it at http://www.w3.wmcnet.org/vo
. ONce you've downloaded this workflow, unzipped it, opened it an
automator, and saved it as a plugin assigning it to the finder, you
then can select whatever number of files you want to move, hit VO
shift M to bring up thecontext menu, go to the more submenu, the
automator submenu, and there should be an option in there that'll say
move, or whatever you'd named it when you'd saved the workflow as a
plugin. At first, when I'd tried this, I thought that the option
to save it as a plugin was under type in the save as dialog in
automator, but I later discovered that further down the file menu in
automator, there was a separate item that actually says save as
plugin, that's actually the one you'll want. Hope this helps. Unlike
in windows, you can't cut a file, you can cut text, but not files.

Hi all:
Is there a way to move files from one folder to another in the
Leopard GUI and VO?
Right now, I have to cpy my downloaded files from one folder to
another, then del the original.
Many Thanks:
Michael
