Bug ID: 510276
Summary: Moving folder causes recursive copy
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version First 8.7.0
Reported In:
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Sometimes copying directories across DK collections causes it to create a set
of endless subdirectories, each with copies of the same images. I am not sure
how to reproduce this - what triggers this, possibly asking to move a direcoty
while something else is in progress (lazy sync). I observed this behavior
multiple times.
STEPS
Identify a leaf folder with a few image files
Maybe start a lazy sync in the same folder (update a test tag for all images
there)
In DK, drag the folder from one collection to another
Observe that "move" status bar is showing this is taking long time
Close and terminate DK
Find the source (not target!) folder localtion.
If the issue was triggered, you would see endless nested directories (100+
levels), each with copies of the files.
RECOVERY
Deletion is successful only with Windows "rmdir" command, GUI based approach
does not work.
