What you need is a good old fashioned program known in olden days called a file manager. On my old Macs i swear by FileDeamon.
A two pane view of any two volumes on the system in a list view cuts through the modern method confusion and gives a clear understanding of the files and volumes you want to deal with.. And leaves everything else out of the way. Forget trees and window drag and drop. to move or delete or compare volumes, and see, hear or read files , renaming archiving etc, whether one or a thousand use a file manager. In the Amiga days these were common. and for power users they are still popular. Masses of files and multiple volumes? I would not think about tackling them any other way. And to reiterate facts i made clear on the PCI Macs list long ago; No, finder is not a good file manager for bulk file handling. No, file managers that insist on tree views are not good file managers they interfere with work flow. Two pane managers are best. they cut through the BS. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
