Hello 

On MacOS before Mavericks the following used to work.

1. I would open computer with shift command C.
2. I would navigate to a drive and folder location and select a folder or
files to copy.
3.  I would open a second computer window command shift C to navigate to a
location where I would paste the files or folder that I had copied. This
could be, for example , copying RNIB Daisy Books onto an SD card.
4. I would then use command accent to cycle through Finder Windows to return
to the Finder Window I had copied from to identify and then copy further
files to paste onto the SD Card or other media. I would then use command
accent to again cycle through windows to return to the media I am copying
the files or folder to.

Since installing Mavericks Finder no longer appears to allow me to keep
Windows open once you navigate away from them. This means that when I use
command accent to cycle through open windows I have only the options of the
current window and desktop as destinations.
This currently makes locating and then copying files like Daisy Books onto
media  like SD cards unnecessarily time consuming. I am currently having to
open a fresh computer window and identify the SD card for each time I want
to copy a folder to it. Similarly every time I want to go to my Daisy Books
folder I again have to start from scratch. I have set up an alias for the
Daisy Book folder to reduce the inconvenience but I believe that I must be
using the wrong technique for Mavericks.

I suspect that this all relates to the new Tab feature  in Finder but so far
experimenting with this I cannot find a process which is as efficient as the
one I used to use . 
Is there anybody using tabbed windows under Mavericks  Finder who can advise
me of a better way of doing what I want to do?

David Griffith
