Comment 35 for bug 478962

Hi!

Thank you, that explains a lot.

Only problem left is how come what I drag does disappear when I move things from one folder to another, but you say it won't remove the ones I drag into the thumb drive?

I'm a little nervous about that, but I guess I'll see that it is so, if I just do it. I had my whole desktop covered with files a little while ago, and someone taught me how to put them into a folder, so I created one and named it "desktop" so I wouldn't forget where those things were, but they wouldn't be piled one on top of the other and clutter up the Desktop. But when I moved them into the folder, they disappeared from the Desktop itself.

I'm sure you're right, you'd have to be, or it wouldn't make any sense, since all we're trying to do is copy them into an external storage so as to protect them, but I was worried that I'd have to do something a little different to get them to copy, and stay where they were, as well as move into the thumb drive storage. Does the computer just already know that I'm not meaning to move them, but just reproduce them into the thumb drive, even if I don't specifically tell it so?

You're awfully patient, but I admit I love learning to actually understand all of these things, rather than just doing them.

Thanks again,

Doris
