sorry but this is unbelievable. I do a simply task in finder with strange results and you should not have this results?
It's not that I don't believe you at all, but I would like to ask to do a test: e.g. you have a folder: f1, on your usbdisc with the files a b and another folder : f1 with files: c d on your homedir: /home/user/ if you chose to copy the folder f1 from /volumes/usbstic/ to /home/users/ then, the finder will ask to replace f1 or stop the action. If you chose to replace, /home/user/f1/ will have the following files in it: a and b. This means the files c and d are lost... Pls , let me know who has also this result... of course , the path- and filenames are just a example. Op 28-aug-2010, om 00:57 heeft Sarah Alawami het volgende geschreven: > Nope no issues for me.
