[Sorry for replying one month late, I'm shovelling through the mail queue.] :) rsync does know how to find "moved" files, if one uses **twice** the `--fuzzy` option plus the `--copy-dest` and the `--delete-after` options. Basically, with your workflow, assuming you have an `inbox` folder where you throw your "current" photos, all you need to specify is `--copy-dest inbox`. (Needless to say I haven't tested this, but according to the documentation it does what you want.) Ciprian. P.S.: If you are already using rsync, perhaps you should throw a look at `rdiff-backup`. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
