Another Snow Leopard Glitch(?)
Apparently you can't just move files from one place to another. Snow Leopard now forces you to copy to the new location instead.
At least it does for me, on my MacBook Pro. Using the trackpad.
I have to be doing something wrong here. Apple doesn't usually do stuff this stupid.

It moves when you click and drag on the same drive. If you click and drag to a different drive it copies. To move a file from one drive to another press command key and drag to the new destination.

Would a FileVaulted user folder count as another drive?

Yeah, there have been many issues with it from day one. Big issues that have caused so many significant issues people do not dare to enable it, even after about 20 software updates. I wouldn't use it.

Your FileVaulted home folder is a mounted disk image. So the system sees it as a different volume. This is not new to Snow Leopard.

Re: Another Snow Leopard Glitch(?)
That would make sense. I had turned it on just out of sheer desire to protect my data. Reminds me of the old Letters submission where the guy needed 4,092 GB to turn the thing on. VileFault indeed.
