That seems to make sense. :D
It now seems like a boo-boo that nobody asked what kind of images they were. Might have given away the fact that they were from apps.
Good luck.
Now if i could get a satisfactory answer to my question. It was an "Is there a way i can..." type question that...
Curiouser and curiouser.
I can't imagine what an installation of CS3 could possibly have to do with you being able to move images - or any other files - around in your file system whether CS3 had some type of problem or not.
Have you tried the suggestions to display the images in a...
Whoa!
Doctor X inadvertently suggested the most obvious solution if you haven't tried already! Don't know why it wasn't the first thing to come to my mind.
Have you tried just opening the trash, copying the files, and pasting them into the Pictures folder or onto the desktop? What...
The trash is a folder in your home directory (as well as other places). It's named ".Trash". Files & folders with names beginning '.' (dot or period) are invisible in Unix (and Finder), but the fact that it's there is why i told Sue to use the command: ls -l ~/.Trash

iMac:~ sueblock$ 1s -1
-bash: 1s: command not found
It appears you were still typing the command as...

I tried to keep it super simple before because i tend toward wordy and confusing. I'll try a bit more wordy.
When you run the Terminal and see:
-iMac:~ sueblock$
That's just a "command prompt" telling you the system you're on, where you are, and what username you are logged on with. Just...
There are usually a few permissions wrong somewhere in the system like that. Those don't sound related.
If it weren't for your being able to drag images out to the desktop and back to the pictures folder, i'd say the permissions were wrong on the Pictures folder.
Since Leopard arrived and...
Being in the US, i've got the prefs set for NTSC, of course. I've seen how if i drop a 25 fps video clip in when creating a DVD of some kind, it asks if i want to reencode in NTSC and converts without problems.
Not so with an entire DVD or VIDEO_TS folder. I bought an out-of-print BBC program...
