Stupid OS X Questions!!!

[crazyswede]

This is going to be a thread with a lot of stupid questions

I am new to OS X so be patient with me

And it might help other people...


First one...

WINDOWS:

Folder 'My stuff' (Contains: eroticstory.txt & system.ini)

Copy to another folder that already contain a folder called 'My stuff' (BUT contains: system.ini & bookmarks.txt)

It will ask if I want to replace -> I say yes please -> I end up with:

'My stuff' (Contains: eroticstory.txt(new), system.ini(replaced) & bookmarks.txt(left alone) )


But OS X:

Folder 'My stuff' (Contains: eroticstory.txt & system.ini)

Copy to another folder that already contain a folder called 'My stuff' (BUT contains: system.ini & bookmarks.txt)

It will ask if I want to replace -> I say yes please -> I end up with:

'My stuff' (Contains: eroticstory.txt(new), system.ini(replaced))

bookmarks.txt now gone!

I want to consolidate 2 folders... It would probably been enough to have said that instead of writting all that rubbish above

Ok.. I will have a look at what you suggested. It's a shame they don't have a 'replace and merge' button beside the 'replace' button

Off to find the terminal window... it's hiding somewhere... is there keyboard shortcut to get it up?
