Photo Matt >> Braindead Finder Behaviour (
1):
Well OS X does this crazy thing where when you drag the folder onto the desktop it asks you if you want to replace the folder with the same name. On Windows I always say yes and it just adds the new pictures to those already in the folder. In OS X it apparently means delete the folder that’s already there and replace it with the one you’re dragging.
Well, yeah, replace means just that. I’m having a hard time getting my mind around a programmer not grokking that the replace in “search and replace” means the same thing outside a text editor.

The loss of information because of the lack of feedback from an interface is asinine.
What lack of feedback?
Apparently, the default behavior of Windows Explorer is to merge two folders/directories together. How is that replacing something? If I replace the family car, do I smash the two together and drive the resulting wreck? And is that dialog box somehow unclear? Or are some people too cool to read dialog boxes?
