Hi again.
I just ran into a weird/an odd usability issue that bugged me in an
updated Mac OS X 10.8.5 earlier:
I tossed a huge 4.5 GB folder into Mac OS X 10.8.5's Trash bin. I
decided to restore it back to the same exact place by dragging the
folder back to the same place in Finder. However, it did a copy.
Shouldn't it be a move? Isn't there a restore to the back place option?
2. I renamed an external HDD's name that was used for Time Machine (TM)
back up. When I went to back up, it told me it couldn't. So, I looked at
TM settings. I noticed it was looking for the old name even though it
was the same exact disk. I told it to reuse the renamed disk to resume.
Why is it that picky on my renamed disk drive?
3. Also, how do I get back Finder's sidebar icon for mounted external
USB HDD? I accidently removed it. Unmounting and remounting doesn't make
it come back.
Thank you in advance. :)

Was it originally on volume Mac HDD and already on the Desktop or somewhere else? Or on some other disk? If you drag it back to the Desktop, you're either doing a UNIX mv if it's on the same volume OR any of the subfolders in BigFolder require additional privileges to move the folder. Otherwise, you do a cp. You can't, AFAIK, rename devices on TM. That's the way TM was designed. Contact Apple if you have issues with TM. There are User Forums where you can vent your spleen to your hearts content about why and how MacOS isn't working the way you want to. Here, all we can really say is "Thank you for sharing". You should be able to Unhide the sidebar from the View menu. Did you look there? -- DeeDee, don't press that button! DeeDee! NO! Dee...

It was originally in a 13.3" MacBook Pro (mid-2012)'s internal HDD's
/Archives/. I told Finder to put back into it by dragging the folder
from Trash bin back to / through Finder windows. Same exact place/location.
> You can't, AFAIK, rename devices on TM. That's the way TM was designed.
Uh, I was able to rename both external drives through Finder and desktop
with their mounted icons.

I did post in Apple forum, but nothing so far. Is there somewhere to
else to send in my feedbacks?

No, I removed the devices from Sidebar. Sidebar is still there. I just
want to bring back the device icons in Sidebar that I removed. I noticed
my TimeMachine drive does come back, but not the FAT32 one. Here is a
screen shot/capture of it in action: http://i.imgur.com/dkGrRM6.gif ...

Hmm, I tried that earlier but nothing happened. Anyways, I got it fixed
from Alan's re(ply/sponse) in Finder's Preferences.

Maybe you deleted a different copy and then dragged it out of the trash
to where the other copy already existed.
To be sure you put back something where you deleted it from: point at
the file/folder in trash, right click and "Put back".
Files in the trash are not actually anywhere different. They are simply
marked as trash and listed in the volume trash folder (hidden ".Trashes"
folder) and made invisible to the user when viewing that volume/folders
- except via the Trash bin. (The trash "folder" shows trash from many
folders and drives - but each drive has its own .Trashes "folder" where
trashed files are "located").

Ah, I did not see that option but then I was using the 13.3" MacBook
Pro's trackpad without an external mouse hooked up for easy right
access. In Windows, I just move to the new location assuming it is on
the same drive.

So if user moves it out of the Trash folder on the SAME drive, it should
be a move/unmarked from deletion if emptied.

Perfect!!!!! That's a strange place for them. I looking in View menu's
options. Sheesh. I noticed there are three different options: Full,
some, or none. It sounds like user can't select which device to hide or
show?

A right-click on a trackpad is usually two-fingers touching the pad, or
one finger clicking the lower right corner of the pad.

It simply puts it in the folder that you drag it to (move) or copies it
to a folder on another drive. In the later case the copy in trash
remains in trash.

It is Apple OS X. It is good. Even when it isn't.

Right or left corner, depending on how you set it up.

Hmm. I will have to try again later. Sometimes it thinks I am doing
something else like doing that show everything (have to hit esc key to
get out of it), not left clicking, etc. I think it is the way I have my
fingers (I am disabled and have no thumbs on both of my small hands) on
the trackpads. I am not a fan of touch screen and gestures. I still
prefer clicky keyboards, trackballs, and external simple light wired
mice (not those pointy sticks on keyboards).

However, it did a copy. >> Shouldn't it be a move? Isn't there a restore to the back place option? Generally, restoring an item is a "move", not a "copy". However, a copy happens if the system views the item being restored from the trash as being on a volume that is different from the destination. The "Desktop" and Trash directories are special in that they can contain items from multiple places. Dragging an item from volume 2 to the Trash actually moves it to the .Trashes directory for volume 2. But it appears in your Trash folder in Finder along with deleted documents from Volume 1. When you drag it from the Finder's Trash to the Desktop, by default, it thinks you want to move it to your home drive on volume 1, and since that item still resides on volume 2, it needs to be copied over to the home desktop on volume 1.

I completely agree with you in principle that trash is not a place for
storage. However (you knew that was coming), 'if you want to keep it'
can be problematic. I regularly encounter clients who have this thought:
'I _think_ I'm done with this file, and I want to get it out of the way
so I don't accidentally open it or confuse it with a later version. Yet,
I may just still need it.' A very real-world circumstance.
What I suggest is a 'pretrash' folder on the Desktop. The client can
drag candidates for disposal there for temporary storage and then purge
the contents in the usual way when they're sure the items should go.
(The usual caveats about letting a temporary folder get bloated because
nothing is ever deleted apply.)
Usage Note: You have to create a pretrash folder for _each_ mounted
volume ('pretrash Disk1', 'pretrash Disk2', etc.) and drag only items
from that volume to that volume's pretrash to prevent duplicating the
item. While multiple pretrashes can be confusing to some, those aren't
usually the users who have more than one mounted volume.

how is it real world?
do these same people put paper documents in the trash can next to their
desk for storage?
do they then wonder where those documents went after whoever usually
empties the trash did so?
or do they put a sign on the trash can saying 'do not empty, important
documents stored here' ?
trash means it's no longer needed. that's why it's called trash.
if someone wants to keep a file, they should not put it in the trash.
very simple.

that's one way.
keep in mind that deleted files can be recovered from a time machine
backup, and not just the latest one either, so there's really no need
to do any of this nonsense.
if a file that was put in the trash is needed for some reason, pull it
off a backup.

you could also use labels, aka tags, and not have to move the file
anywhere. just label it with a particular colour that indicates it's
not important anymore but don't want to trash just yet.

also true.

It's not for storage - it's an "oops" step of 2nd to last resort.

I don't think you can - perhaps with sudo.
Hmm - I'm definitely not a terminal cowboy - but I threw something in
the trash and navigated to it. Won't list "ls -al" anything (permission
denied).
Shelled as admin and tried ls there with sudo:
total 0
d-wx-wx-wt@ 2 root wheel 68 Sep 26 22:41 .
drwxr-xr-x 39 root wheel 1394 Oct 7 18:55 ..
No sign of the file. Maybe 'cause it belongs to the other account.
So logged into admin, created a file and deleted that. Verified it was
in the trash. Entered terminal and navigated to the trash ...
nothing showing other than the . and .. sudo or not sudo.
So - Trashes is a special place indeed and does not allow one to screw
around - at least not easily.
And "empty trash" applies to all the mounted volumes.
Moral of the story? Do your backups and don't trash anything you're not
sure of and if not sure, check the trash before emptying it.
Just don't temporarily put anything in there that you might need.
