Hi Anouk,
What I use to move files (not copy and paste them) is an Automator workflow that Greg Kearney wrote some time ago that is described in this old archived list post: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg40248.html The problem is that those links no longer work, and since Greg moved to a new job in Australia his old employer's site no longer hosts those files. In any case, under Snow Leopard, you would probably create the Automator workflow slightly differently. I'm not upgraded to Snow Leopard, so I can't give instructions based on my current system, however, using Automator and the "Move Finder Items" action you should be able to create a contextual menu option for Finder that will simply move selected files to your designated location. Alternatively, you can get Travis Siegel's "Move" AppleScript, and paste it into the "Run Applescript" action to make this an Automator workflow, or you could simply select the files and then run the AppleScript, or assign the AppleScript to a spark shortcut. Look for it at: http://www.softcon.com/mac/scripts I've only read about the new format, so the way I think this would be done is (somewhat sketchily) is: 1. Open Automator and select "Service" and then press (VO-Space) the "choose" button 2. Navigate with VO-Right Arrow (or use item chooser menu) to an entry that will initially read "Service receives selected" "text" (pop up button) "in" "any application" (pop up button). You want to use VO- Space to set the first pop up button to "files or folder" and set the second pop up button to "Finder". 3. Find "run AppleScript" in the Actions library, select it, and press return to add it to the workflow. 4. Navigate to the workflow, interact with the "Run AppleScript action". You want to copy the AppleScript, and paste it into the middle of the "Run AppleScript action" where you're prompted to put your AppleScript. 5. Save the workflow and name it.
