Moving folders in Finder without copying
I see what you are saying with this, but the more I think about it, this seems to reveal a security problem rather than a feature. The main problem the poster is having is getting past user permissions not a file move. In UNIX all files are set with permissions. User folders are set to No Access for all other users on a system, and READ Only for the the root level of each respective user. With one user this is really a non-issue but with multiple users on the same machine the individual user folders are not visible nor read/write to each other user. This is a GOOD thing. This means that without administrator access and a knowledge of sudo in the terminal, users can not copy from or to other users folders on the same machine. This AppleScript seems to negate that without administrator access which would seem like a security bug not a feature.
Moving folders in Finder without copying
Who said anything about circumventing permissions or doing anything without administrator access? When required, a cmd-drag in Panther invokes an authentication dialog so that an administrator could organize things quickly from the GUI. Tiger and later, an admin in this situation can't move from the GUI at all. |
