I must be the DUMBEST person on the planet to constantly have problems with being able to drag one Mac directory in Finder to another one without taking everything OUTSIDE of that directory also and dumping it where I don’t want it. Or the file or folder ending up somewhere else than my intended destination. This time I wanted ONE folder from my downloads to go into ONE other folder in my home. Instead, it took EVERYTHING in downloads and dumped it into the target folder. It was impossible to sort out what didn’t belong so I had to delete everything and now all my downloads stuff (some of which I was still using) is gone.

    How is this even possible, is the UI somehow fucked? And why didn't you ctrl+z the copying?

    @electrineer You think I didn’t try that? Something completely wacky I’d never seen before. I still don’t know how it happened.

    @stackodev how could I know, you said yourself that you're the dumbest person on the planet, and naturally you're also a mac user. If ctrl-z doesn't undo a folder move, that's a UI issue of its own.
