Files and directories will automatically move if they are being dragged from one window to another window that represents a folder on the same volume and will be copied if the volumes differ. There is currently no way to override that, a feature that we should add soon. There is no way to select multiple files, although some of that functionality has already been built into Browser. However, HFS_XFer can't do it either. It's not clear what functionality we'll add before we release 2.0. When 2.0 is released we'll make the source to Browser freely available, so futher customization can be done outside of ARDI. --Cliff ctm@ardi.com
