Move to script ---- Yippee!
Trying it out now with FP2.5.6. Works great with regular ol' files. But when moving applications I get this error:

Error (1):
mv: rename /Volumes/Data/DOWNLOADS/Dropzone 3.x [SP].app to /Volumes/Data/ SerSeek/KG & P/Dropzone 3.x [SP].app: Directory not empty

Does it whether it's replacing the same version of app or earlier/later.

Oh! Using OS X 10.9.4 for whatever that's worth.

Re: Move to script ---- Yippee!
This is the kind of thing I was referring to in my original reply to you and why I was reluctant to do anything :-)

I've recoded the Applescripts so that if we are moving or copying a directory which already exists in the destination, that existing desitnation dir will get moved to the trash (with a unique prefix based on the current date/time.) Then the cp or mv takes place.

Try here: Copy+Move Scripts.zip
Let me know if there are further problems...

And yet you tried and the result was still better than what I had before. ;)

So far so good! Much thanks again, Turly. :D
