Not sure if this is a "folder action" but...

Isn't there some way to make the Finder do a second move once it's finished another?
For instance, after copying or moving a file can't you hold down sgift and then move it to the trash?

Come on now... I know somebody here knows what I';m talking about.
All I need is an action that I copy a big file to a disk and then the action takes the old copy and put's it in the garbage.
I used to know how to do this but i forgot.

It's something like you hold shift down when you drag the copy to the new disk and then you drag the old copy from the original disk to the trash and it completes the action after the first is done.

I think what you want is command. That makes the operation "move" rather than "copy" (although it actually just deletes the original since moving between disks is impossible).

No this is different... It like a macro of some sort for the gui. After one "action" is completed it starts the second action as specified. Action one in this case would be:
1. Copy file to new folder
2. Move what you originally copied to the trash
That's just one example, but in my case it makes a lot os sense because they are big DV files that I don't have time to sit around and watch complete... then move them to the trash. This "action" completes it for me instantly after the copy completes. You can have more than 2 in a row. I think it was added to OS X with Jaguar.

How is this effectively different from holding in command?

Because this is not a move it's a copy. you can also see the the finder move the folder to the trash and the actions have system noises as if you were doing it yourself... at a fast speed.

Again, how is that functionally different? It accomplishes the same thing. Like I said, even the "move" version of the command is actually a copy-and-delete operation, since it's impossible to move blocks between disks.

I agree that it gets the same thing done but my point is that I miss the action and I thought that it was a part of the finder along with other automated actions. Maybe I'm wrong.
