Well, what would you do if you wished to copy multiple files from one
folder to another? Although this does make sense for the copying of a
single file from one folder to another... although remember that instead
of having both folder open, only the destination folder's icon need be
visibile. If the window of the source folder overlaps it, having this
capability will do you no good.
