Why not MvMac?
Authored by: googoo on Apr 22, '03 10:44:55AM

I downloaded the rmm script, and it works very well. One question, though: why does it use CpMac to copy the file to ~/.Trash and then rm to remove it? Could it save a step by just using MvMac to move the file (resource fork and all) to ~/.Trash? Am I missing something?

Because MvMac apparently doesn't work accross different file
systems, but CpMac does.

And why not using MvMac when both source and destination volumes are the same and CpMac otherwhise? This way the speed will be improved in many cases.
