Things I like abut FolderGlance include the ability to move and copy files from the contextual menu, the ability to quickly create aliases in a different location than the source file, and fast access to favourite folders and custom folders (in which I place aliases of frequently-used apps). FolderGlance makes right-clicking (control-clicking) fun!

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!

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.
