I know it is nothing new. Just inconsistent. Try to cut some text from a document, now you can paste the text multiple times. Just beeing picky that is it.

>>>When you copy a file, I think (not sure) Clipboard contains only the path to it, not the contanings of the file, so when you Cut it there is no file in this path after pasting it :o)

>>If I copy a file to a different place, then delete the source file and then cry to paste the file again I get an error saying that it can't find the source file so yes it must only put the path into the clipboard.
>>but when I paste a 2nd time a file that was cut I don't get an error message. Oh well. I just thought it was kinda funny. I don't even remember how I ran into it.
