all the more reason to have logs, so we can figure out where we screwed up and re-think the 'puter.
i understand that keeping a log for finder -- every menial task and movement -- would generate unwieldy logs. but **** if it isn't something that should at least be an /option/. how many people have just needed to know which files were moved from a not trash folder into trash. that log alone would be a godsend. it's 2016 for pete's sake, where is that log file already????? *grumbles and continues searching for a file she's pretty sure is gone forever*
The last task usually can be undone (command-Z or command-Y selecting a file that had been just moved). But once you have done other tasks, it is only a matter of time before the record of previous tasks becomes too big to be undone. This is why it is good to have a good backup plan*:
