Merging Folders

Same here. Already installed Lion but I cannot merge any folder. That's strange.

 

I asked someone who has a copy of Lion to try this, and he said it doesn't work...?!

I'd be very disappointed if this feature has been axed. It even lists it as a feature on their website.

I'm glad I searched for this thread. I just can't get this merge folders feature to work at all.
It's infuriating, as I really need to merge some folders now!

 

I'm curious as to how well that works out for you...seeing as there is no disk, unless you mean the hard drive...and if that is what you mean, I wouldn't get so worked up about merging folders, it's only a folder after all.

 

You can merge two folders by selecting them both, then right-clicking/double-tapping on them. Gives the option "New folder with selection (#of items)".

That what you mean?

 

i was just going to post this info!. seems simple enough...

 

Cmd + C then Cmd + V to the new location. Works for me.

It has now worked for me too, on a normal folder, but it seems not to work on the default OS X folders in the Users folder.

I tried to merge "~/Documents" from one OS X installation to another, and that doesn't work.

I guess these are regarded as system folders and for whatever reason, merge doesn't work on those.
