to move across filesystems (that means between partitions, between media etc.) you MUST copy. u cant rename() (move). so thats already done per file (across a tree). it is done if its removable media or another partition because its the only way u can do it. the point here is too back to a tree copy/duplicate do it safely so u dont get a half-done operation maybe losing files etc. it'd be the same logic- if the rename() doesnt work - go to a tree duplicate path and don't actually delete the original files until its all done. > cheers > > 2011/8/25 Carsten Haitzler <[email protected]> > > > On Wed, 24 Aug 2011 14:01:57 +0200 Dennis Heuer <[email protected] > > > > > said: > > > > > Hello, > > > > > > Efm, instead of other file managers, moves instead of copies files when > > > dragged.
