Thanks for testing.
Today I had some time to figure out why it works for you but not for me.
"darktable -d all" didn't tell me anything (no debug messages at all).
Trying out all sorts of combinations I finally found:
Move doesn't move on Windows if
a) the destination directory is on a different drive
AND
b) the image file has the readonly attribute set.
dt moves non-ro-images from one drive to another, and moves ro-images
within one drive, but the combination doesn't work: The image file is
copied to the destination, but the original and the sidecar file stay in
the source directory.
It's strange as the Windows Explorer happily moves ro-files from one
drive to another without even asking for confirmation.
I got what I wanted by temporarily removing the readonly attribute.
Maybe this information is helpful to others.
Best regards,
Ralf M.

Am I doing anything wrong?
What is the correct procedure to achieve what I expected move to do?
I'm using dt 3.4.1.1 on Windows.
The images to be moved are TIFFs (film scans).
Source and destination directory are on different volumes, i.e.
the move
means in reality copy and delete source.
You're doing it right, and I just tested it on Linux and it works
correctly. Maybe a Windows-related bug, but I can't confirm it as I
don't have a darktable installation on Windows.
Best regards,
Guillermo
