GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 751456
'move to' moves the file 'to' but not 'delete' the origin

Hi, "The option "move to" does copy the files from one folder to another, but does not delete the original files." regards, Herbert
Very annoying bug. I am using version 3.4.0. Also, once fixed, the operation should perform a true "mv" is the files remain in the same filesystem. Copy and delete should only be performed when moving files across different filesystems. None of the developers notice this bug? Should be easy to fix by simply looking into the old code and revert to what was done before. It used to work.
Waiting for fix!

Fixed by commit d2998dd99a0d3d2edba98d70fae97efb87008111
I checked the code committed. copy_selected_files_to_folder(), does it perform a mv if the files reside the same filesystem? (preferred) Or does it copy and delete? Thanks for the fix. Still better having copy/delete (if such is the case) than nothing.
I don't know - I believe it relies on g_file_move: https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/GFile.html#g-file-move
Hi, I was waiting for a new version. But can I apply this fix to current version - 3:3.4.1 ? Regards
Of course. You can compile from the latest git master version too, explained here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/gthumb/development
