Drag & drop from 2 drives mounted in folders performs move
Posted: 10 Aug 2015, 23:45
Hello,
Do you sometimes work with drives mounted into folders?
Very handy when you're running out of drive letters.
I have 8 drives mounted in a single parent directory: E:\Disks, containing E:\Disks\M0, E:\Disks\M1... through M7, each M* folder corresponding to a physical HDD.
In this situation, I just found that dragging & dropping files/folders from one mount directory to another (e.g. E:\Disks\M1\File1.ts to E:\Disks\M2) performs a MOVE operation, not a COPY operation, as you'd expect when doing so between two physical drives.
Simply because Salamander mistakenly thinks that I'm moving stuff from the same drive (E:), which isn't the case![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
Could you please look at this issue? I just lost several hours backuping a drive to another, by mistakenly (but logically) thinking that moving folders from M2 to M7 would copy the contents, not move them!
(I'm now performing the same operation on the other way, with a formal Copy and Paste operation this time).
Thanks for your consideration![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
