Hi Stacey, Yes, I bought this early on in Snow Leopard, but directly from the developer's web site, before it was sold at the Mac App Store. ray says that the "move" command works in the last version of Snow Leopard, so you could also try that out first. Copy selected files with Command-C, move to a new folder, then move them there with Command-Option-V.
