Public bug reported:
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: 12.04
apt-cache policy thunar
thunar:
Installed: 1.2.3-3ubuntu2
Candidate: 1.2.3-3ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 1.2.3-3ubuntu2 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Expected:
Moving files / directories within one filesystem should always be fast.
What happened:
Moving files / directories within one filesystem is sometimes slow.
In some cases, Thunar seems to perform a copy and then a remove of the original
files instead of moving them.
I think it occurs when moving whole directories and one of the sub-directories
already exists at the target location.
Example:
I have a structure like
Source
Dir1
some files
Dir2
some files
Dir3
some files
Dir4
some files
Target
Dir3
some files (not the same as in Source/Dir3)
Dir5
some files
Dir6
some files
Dir7
some files
And then I mark everything in Source and drag it to Target.
Everything except Dir3 works as fast as expected. But the files in Dir3
are listed in a progress dialog and take so long that the only
explanation is there must be a cp and rm instead a mv.
The files are videos recorded from TV, so they are big :-) and everyhing
happens within one filesystem. I think in cases like this, Thunar should
still do a mv of the single files to the existing target dir.
