Copy And Paste Missing From iPhone, Cut And Paste Sucks On Leopard

Leopard’s Finder has a glaring bug in its directory-moving code, leading to horrendous data loss if a destination volume disappears while a move operation is in action. I first came across it when Samba crashed while I was moving a directory from my desktop over to a Samba mount on my FreeBSD server.

Smooth, shiny interfaces mean nothing if the basics can't be done.
