I hope this help you.
First, apologies for not responding sooner. It sounds like the login item isn't loading anymore. You can fix this by reinstalling, or manually as follows:
1) Open System Preferences, select the Accounts pref pane, click your account and then select the Login Items tab. If you see an item called FolderGlance Loader in the list, remove it. Keep this window open.
2) Open a Finder window, and open your Library folder. In the Library folder, open the folder called PreferencePanes, then right-click the item called FolderGlancePrefs.prefPane. Select Show Package Contents from the context menu, and dig into Contents/Resources.
3) In the Resources folder, you should see an item called FolderGlance Loader. Launch this application, and then drag it to the list of login items.
This should resolve your problem; if not, feel free to get in touch either here or via e-mail (you can find the email address in the FolderGlance preference pane, in the Help section).

As for moving files around, this makes it easy. I did use QuickAccessCM before it died when CM's were banished. Now, I have an easy way to move files around without opening windows, or waiting for them to pop open.
I tested it, and had downloaded another app with similar leanings, but this one is now in my stable of must-have apps!

I download and/or drag a lot of images and information to the desktop which I then need to transfer to far flung locations in several drives.
Alternatives have, for me, all proven less convenient, or just slow or unreliable. Though I use this less often than I did in the past, I'm very glad it's still around and getting better with each update!

Saying this has it all over Default Folder (a suggestion) is ridiculous as that app is far more powerful and useful than this; indispensible really. In fact, they're functions aren't really even very similar, so the suggestion is rather silly.
@Roaming Nomad:
You must be delirious if you think you can do this for free with column view and option. Only a fraction of what Folderglance does can be accomplished that way. Just moving files to other parts of the hierarchy takes many times the effort. Have to have two windows open and navigate to source and destination; then select items and drag, or one window and dig down through many many levels of file architecture using spring-loaded folders. It can take minutes per transfer.
With column view and the option key, how can you navigate quickly to some random folder many layers deep and preview a file there?
If one is regularly sending files and folders off to distant parts of the file hierarchy on multiple drives of hundreds or thousands of gigabytes (in my case about 4 TB) YOUR way would eat up hours of time.

NOT listed as a suggestion. Obviously they are COMPLETELY different. I own both, if they were the same why would I own both. OpenMenu X and finderpop are the kind of apps I was referring too. don't just jump to conclusions singling one app out that we know should not even be listed as an alternative, they are extremely different. Thanks for your reply, I gained no knowledge but at least we both agree Roaming Noad is a troll w/o much knowledge.

Can someone tell me what (if anything) I'm missing or is this normal?
Thanks in advance.

The most recent incident was from my desktop to a folder within my documents folder via an alias.
It worked when i made the move directly to the destination folder.
