Existing users, 
Allow me to respond to the comments you made about my previous post. Speaking entirely for myself...
When I move an item I am aware of where I am moving it from and to and do not need a display of either path as in Terminal. Others, of course, might.
I cannot recall wanting to undo a move - I can't guarantee "ever", just that I can't recall such an occasion. Were it to happen, I find Command-Z perfectly adequate. "Undo" works in the expected way after a 'QuickAccessCM' move. I can imagine nothing simpler, faster or more intuitive than that.
I find creating and modifying the settings for "Quick Access" (i.e. show), "Move To", "Copy To" and "Make Alias In" in QuickAccessCM extremely simple. You may find it "big and complex" - I don't.
I believe in a free market. I believe in the consumer's right to information and to choice. I have not in any way denigrated your product. I see nothing "unfair" in disseminating information if that information is true. That you, as a "competitor", may prefer it not to be so is a different matter.
I am grateful to Abracode for giving me a superb tool free of charge, and I am pleased to repay them in a very small way by making this kind of post. I consider that fair and decent.
You have no need to go on the defensive. I am not attacking you. For all I know your product may yet prove to be a phenomenal leap forward in such utilities. If it is, rest assured that I will say so.
MoveCM
contextual menu moves, copies, archives to common locations
Version: 1.0.14
A reply to the developer - Joe_Pagliaro
Hi,I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Thanks.
First, I just posted an update to MoveCM which adds some new features, such as the ability to archive files or folders to one of the locations pre-selected in the preference pane.
I went on the defensive because I write a lot of software, and I rotate through the projects updating them over time. Your review and comments came in on version 1.0, which for all my products will always suffer from a lack of features. So comparing my program at its debut to a program which has been in development for a much longer period of time seemed odd to me. It's not something I would participate in. It makes me wonder why you have to take it public anyway. I guess there is something in writing to me in private communication that wouldn't suffice.
As with all my products I have a list of features planned for MoveCM. They never all go into version 1. I'll get to them eventually. I just sit here writing the software I want to use, and that I think will be useful to others. So when a person comes by and denigrates my work I tend to go on the defensive. The unfortunate side of the internet is that it seems to provide the same insulation that causes "road rage."
Finally, MoveCM doesn't stand alone, but rather as part of a large assemblage of programs I work on simultaneously. And, I offer them all for one single price, which is variable (so I call it a donation.) Each individual existing program is in development, and new ones are on the way.Upgrades are always F R E E, as are new additons to the bundle.
Joe
