Dangerously inconsistent folder move in SD card.

Open riveravaldez opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, moving a folder into another folder (always in an SD card partition) effectively moved the folder and its content to the desired location, but the moved folder doesn't get deleted from the original location, only the content gets moved (so, behind left an structure of empty folders), but the user doesn't receive any explanation on this, and can have the impression that the folder wasn't moved at all (but the folder is now empty). When/If the user repeats the folder movement, now an empty folder is moved to the new location, and the overwritten produces the deletion of all the folder's content. I think this is a really dangerous behavior for the app. And maybe the user should receive some info to understand the situation (before loosing all the files in the folder, which could be really many). Hope this is an understandable explanation. Thanks a lot.
