Please read the hint carefully-- this not about the 'results' pane!
I can't believe what I am reading here. I now know what happened to two folders I used to keep on my desktop to pile stuff into. I unfortunately overwrote my backup before I noticed them gone, but PLEASE READ this hint carefully-- it is not about trashing files that show up in the results section of the search pane-- it's about Find's ability to add just certain folders to its search 'places' window, so you don't have to search a whole hard drive when you know a file is just in specific directory. Then, if you later decide don't need that specific place to search any longer, you can remove it from your special search places-- but now I see if I drag it off, it deletes that whole directory. This is a terrble shock to me. Of course you should be able to delete files in the results section, but not directories in the search section!
Warning - the Find box can delete source folders!
I think you've said it in a nutshell: "Of course you should be able to delete files in the results section, but not directories in the search section!" |
