...except, as in my case, when the user runs out of physical disk space and wants to move source files to another drive. In that case, it's extremely confusing to do so--you basically have to use Terminal to create an alias to your new file location (otherwise, OS X will save new music or photo files in the old location).

I grant, of course, that this might be more an edge than core case. I have a lot of music :) and photos :)
