   A must! I can't believe I have to use the command line to do something so simple ;-)

   This is one of the things I actually miss from using Windows Explorer.

   The software should always err on the side of *not* destroying data when intention is not clear. In the modern work flow, merging is many times more likely to be the desired behavior, particularly with the volume of photos, music, movies, documents, spread across 500GB multi level drives. Copy /music/newmusicfiles.mp3 to /music and congrats, your entire collection is gone. Alternatives...unix.

   Note: just to clarify for those that will nitpick... the /music/newmusicfiles.mp3 is assuming your copying a complex directory structure /music/{variousnewartistfolders}/{variousnewartistalbums}/{songs} by copy just the root /music folder and assuming the computer will do the hard work.

   Windows, Unix, Linux and the Mac terminal mv & ditto all have the wanted behaviour why be different in the Mac Graphical file browser, it does not make sense. Linux gave users the option to change anything they wanted and know one chose to make it work like the default finder action.
