TOPIC
This article describes how to move items viewed as buttons to the Trash, or another Finder window.
DISCUSSION
- Select Move To Trash from the File menu.
- Type Command-Delete.
- Drag them to the Trash by dragging the name of any button item to the Trash.
To select items in button view you must click their name rather than the button to avoid activating the button. Multiple button items can be selected by dragging a selection rectangle around them or by pressing the Shift key and clicking button names to extend a selection.
Once button items are selected they can be moved to the Trash by any of these methods:
Once selected, button items can be repositioned by dragging any button item by its name to a new position. You can also change the view option from button to icon to manipulate the finder items.
A selection of button item(s) can also be operated on by pressing the Control key and clicking to invoke a contextual menu of actions.
If you are still having trouble dragging buttons to new positions (that is, they snap back to the original location), look for a feedback icon in the upper left of the window beneath the window title bar. When a window is set to a "Keep arranged" View Option, a feedback icon appears in the upper left corner of the window to bring this to your attention (see Figure 1). The desktop does not have this feedback icon available, so you must select View Options from the View menu while an item on the desktop is selected to verify this setting.
