> Provide FileUtils.moveFile(srcFile, dstFile, preserveFileDate)
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IO-700
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-700
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.8.0
> Reporter: tza
> Priority: Major
>
> The current implementation 2.8.0 throws an Exception, if moveFiles or
> copyFiles (with preserveFileDate=true) cannot update the lastModifiedDate.
> This was not the case in 2.6.
>
> For FileUtils.moveFile the copyFile(File, File) method is used, which results
> in a copy with preserveFileDate=true. Could you provide a method overload to
> moveFile similiar to copyFile.
>
> {code:java}
> public static void moveFile(final File srcFile, final File destFile) throws
> IOException {
> moveFile(srcFile, destFile, true);
> }
> public static void moveFile(final File srcFile, final File destFile, boolean
> preserveFileDate) throws IOException {
> ...
> copyFile(srcFile, destFile, preserveFileDate);
> }
> {code}
>
> (We have a cifs mount where the server is not allowing the update)
