Background: I have an InnerDrive partitioned into two volumes. I keep the five or six most commonly used programs on the desktop so I don't have to go digging for them; all are on the first partition. At the time this bug occurred, neither of the drives were "opened" (i.e., the only things on the desktop were icons for the devices and the programs). Wha happen: I was moving things around randomly (boredom, ya know?), and I tried moving the second partition onto the first. The Finder responded with a "volumes are not the same size; the files will be stored in a subdirectory" box, which I canceled. After cancelation, the programs I had placed on the desktop were moved off. Not only were they placed back into their original folders, but the color attributes were lost. This is sorta weird. Any ideas? -- fadden@cory.berkeley.edu (Andy McFadden) ...!ucbvax!cory!fadden "NuLib, NLU, NAU... coming soon to a theatre near you."

Yup, that happens (whether you cancel the operation or not). Not beautiful,
but apparently much better than things it could do before they made it
behave that way.
Moral: If you want to drag a disk onto another disk & have everything be
in a folder, create the folder on the destination, open the origianl disk,
Select All, and drag all the icons into the folder. No problem that way.
