MosteanuV Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Hello, Why isn't the folder move instant on the same hdd? I am trying to move "/mnt/user/media/shows/new" to "/mnt/user/media/" and it is moving as fast as a copy command. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 How are you moving it exactly? Quote Link to comment
MosteanuV Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 with Dynamix File Manager I use plus sign on the right and select move from there. Quote Link to comment

I believe that the Dynamix File Manager uses a copy + delete original on success strategy to implement a move. Quote Link to comment

Most file managers will. the Dynamix File Manager uses the approach it does so that users do not inadvertently fall could of the behaviour described here in the online documentation accessible via the ‘Manual’ link at the bottom of the GUI or the DOCS link at the top of each forum page. I guess it could be enhanced (if it has not already) to take account of the fact that if moving between physical drives then this behaviour will not happen and a move at the Linux level will not give unexpected results.
