While I’m on, here’s another ‘move’ script I have that people might find useful, as you can’t do this natively in OS X:


  1. WHAT'S IT FOR?
  2. I use this script to move things quickly from the desktop.
  3. Create a hotkey for it (I use FastScripts for this, but you can do it via 'Services' menu), then
  4. select file/s you want to move, hit the hotkey and use the Finder tree to pick the destination.
  5.  
  6.  
  7. *)
  8.  
  9. --start
  10. tell application "Finder"
  11.         try
  12.                 get selection
  13.                 if selection is not equal to {} then
  14.                         move selection to (choose folder)
  15.                 else
  16.                         display dialog "Nothing selected to move!" buttons {"OK"} default button "OK" with icon 2
  17.                 end if
  18.         on error
  19.                 set selection to {}
  20.         end try
  21. end tell
  22. --eof
