I've noticed that when tiger saves files to a location (i.e. say I download some files from the net into a selected folder) that the files become interlaced ontop of one another. It seems now my HD's folders are littered with this? Any ideas what could be causing this?
Got a tip for us?

Tiger is saving files ontop of each other?

You can do a couple of things
1) Go to the finder and on the top bar, hit "View -> Clean up"
2) Go to the finder window and hit "View -> Arrange -> (insert method of organization here)"
To insure that this won't happen, go to finder and then click on "View -> Show View Options" and click on "Snap to grid"
Hope this helps!
I found this only happened when my desktop was completely full and cluttered (on my old 12" iBook) when I was working on a website and had all files everywhere, but poster above me has your answers.
