Finder stuff to notification centre

[randyj]

Hi, something that has bothered my for the longest time is when you copy folders and paste them into a new spot, how do you know they have successfully copied?

Now if the files are quite large and will take a long time, I just leave the them going in the background or leave the machine on. Then nothing.
Did it copy, where did that file transferring thing go etc.
I manually go to each folder, bring up the folder copied and the destination folder, compare file sizes, number of files etc. Then after a careful comparison I will go ahead and delete the original folder.

Why can't a notification pop up in notification centre saying 'All files successfully copied from x to y.'
Is there a better way to manage this process?

If the copy fails it shows an error in the copy window.

Most will drag the folder so it acts as a "Cut" rather than a "copy+paste, verify, delete original"

Apple has disabled the cut command in Finder to prevent loss of files

Dragging folders/files on the same drive will move them. Dragging folders/files to a different drive will copy them unless you hold down CMD in which case it "moves" them.
The cut/paste feature is possible.
CMD+C then CMD+Alt+V
Holding down options whilst clicking the edit menu reveals "move items here".
