Mac OS X "At the Worldwide Developers Conference in August, Apple plans to provide a sneak preview of the next major update to OS X, code named Leopard. Apple is typically tight-lipped about what to expect from Leopard, so we have no idea what new and improved features await us in August. But that's not stopping us from coming up with a list of things we'd like to see in OS X 10.5." And for when you're done reading.

Nope. There's no Cut menu for _files_. You can't cut. You can copy or duplicate. But no cut. OS X forces you to drag files to move them, which is fine by me except

- you can't move up a directory when you're dragging. You've got no option but to go the long way around. Even if you could press Cmd+Up whilst dragging, it still doesn't work. In Windows you can just press backspace. In OS X this is a torture when dealing with Zip files.

- You can't drag on to the back button or the path button either. The only option is to either bring up two windows or use column view, both of which require setting things in their place first.

I'd prefer Enter-CtrlX-Backspace-CtrlV any day.
