Moving content around on the Mac can be incredibly easy or slightly annoying. Growing up on Windows, I’ve lived with the luxury of cutting documents before pasting them in the desired locations. Quite honestly, that’s still my preferred method of moving documents. By default, that’s absent on the Mac. And to be frank, I’ve never liked how the Mac has dealt with files and folders at all. This may seem absurd, but hear me out: To take a file from my documents, and move it into a folder hierarchy buried somewhere on my system (perhaps deeper in my documents), I either have to copy the folder then delete the original, or drag and drop. Copying, pasting, then deleting the original is a terrible way to go about things unless you’re working with text. Dragging and dropping can work okay, but it gets old when you have to go maybe five folders deep. There is no other absolute move command which cut solved.
The second problem with computers in general is screen real estate. On my laptop, every pixel counts. Dragging and dropping is made easier when you have two finder windows open, but again, it gets old having to resize windows each time. If you’re like me and you still haven’t moved to a third party application to manage your files and folders, then Fiwi can help solve the drag and drop dilemma.
