it put the file back into the folder it was previously in, after having
been moved out of it, usually to the desktop.

it put the file back into the folder it was previously in, after having been moved out of it, usually to the desktop.
I thought it was only from the Desktop back to where it came from?
Way back I wrote a program to re-create the behaviour of Put Away but, because there was no easy hook into the Finder, it needed very low-level access to the OS and *every* file move had to be trapped and checked.
Given that this meant every file the OS moved behind the scenes for any reason, not just because the user had asked for it to be moved, this put quite a lot of load on the system.
The later introduction of System Integrity Protection meant you also had
to jump through hoops to install it so I gave up.
Finder add-ins have changed since then so it might be worth me looking
at the possibilities they offer again.

I seem to remember it, or something similar, being available in the Bin until quite recently.
It's certainly not there now!

My mistake! it IS there now.
For those without a Classic Mac system (e.g. Most of us!) you can try it
out using a UTM vm.

OS 9 is not classic.
I've used a Mac Classic with I think OS 6. Then a
Performa 475 with OS about 7.

Cheers - JaimieOS 9 is not classic. I've used a Mac Classic with I think OS 6.
Then a Performa 475 with OS about 7. Then came those horrid see through CRT all in one coloured Imacs with 9..Yep & you could but the early versions of OS X on them.
Then they made a tower desktop version, one of which I was transporting across my employer's car park on a trolley, on it's side, when I realised the sides are (typically for Apple) not flat.well the sides of an Apple aren't flat.
It spun round, slid off and crashed onto the ground and fell apart.
