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?
