RickInHouston Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I keep each file in a folder. Okay, a movie file in a folder file. The Mover utility only moved the file and not the folder. Can this be changed? Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Mover will move a file from a location on the cache drive to one with the same path on one of the data drives. This will include any folders in the path. You need to give an example of what you are seeing, and what you expect to happen if you think something is wrong. Quote Link to comment
RickInHouston Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 I have Disc 01 > Movies > Sicario (2015) (folder) > Sicario.mkv (2015) I copy Sicario (2015) folder with file inside to Cache > Movies. Mover runs overnight and put Sicario.mkv (2015) into Disc 01 > Movies folder. The Movies folder now has all folders and one file named Sicario.mkv (2015). It did not put Sicario (2015) FOLDER into Disc 01 > Movies folder. Maybe I should try again.? Quote Link to comment

My suspicion would be that when you copied the file to the cache drive then you managed to omit the folder. You did not mention exactly how you did the copy? It would be alright if you copied from the 'disk1' to the 'cache' share as they are both disk shares. You would risk data loss if you copied from the "Movies" share to the "Cache" share as that mixes a user share and a disk share in the same copy - and that can easily lead to data loss where you end up with a zero length file.
