adminmat Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) So I'm using Krusader for the first time. Although everyone raves about this application it's quite confusing and the only videos tutorial (by Spaceinvaderone) is outdated. And something quite scary happened the first time using... I was moving a folder with a film from my Temp Media share to my Media share and I got a popup saying it will overwrite the destination!! Wholly crap! Really? So by dragging a folder into my media folder it warns me that it will overwrite the destination of 5TB of media? When I clicked on Cancel Krusader then crashed and wouldn't open the GUI until I stop and start the container. Is this really the only GUI to move files around in unRAID without using SMB? Will this erase my Media folder? Why is it saying it will overwrite a folder that doesn't already exist on the share? Edited November 18, 2019 by adminmat Quote Link to comment

But any idea why it's giving an overwrite warning? I really don't want to overwrite anything. Quote Link to comment

I really don't want to overwrite anything My guess is that it is a dummy warning. However, I'd setup a sandbox share for testing and confirm if I didn't know for sure, it should be easy enough to do.

Right, that's how it looks. But it does this as I move the folder to the share for the first time. That's why it's confusing. The folder definitely is not on the share that I'm moving it to.

That's why it's confusing. The folder definitely is not on the share that I'm moving it to. I have to wonder why the destination says Saturday the 16th? Anyway if it were me I'd setup a test share to confirm, it should take less 2 minutes but someone else may have a better idea... Quote Link to comment
adminmat Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) So I did the test you suggested. This behavior only happens when transferring the movie folder to my Media share. When I transfer the same folder to a Test Share it does not give the overwrite warning. So I can not test the effect of clicking on the "Write Into" button. So I risk overwriting my media library or I have to click cancel. When I click Cancel the file still transfers but it makes Krusader crash so after moving every file I have to restart the container. Not ideal. Edited November 18, 2019 by adminmat Quote Link to comment

If I remember correctly I ended up using the right click menu rather than drag and drop due to some odd behaviors, especially when the folder path was really long. Also, not to be redundant but make sure the folder isn't actually there in the destination already by navigating to it without krusader Edited November 18, 2019 by Dissones4U 1 Quote Link to comment
adminmat Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 So for whatever reason I stopped getting the warning. It should be noted that I would get a similar warning when copying folders with the Plex labeling structure to the unRAID cache over SMB. But the warning would pop up in windows saying something like "are you sure you want to do this, you will lose the file properties." Never understood what the meant but it didn't seem to harm anything. Quote Link to comment
