Description Nicolò Chieffo 2007-05-16 17:51:27 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I tried to CUT a file from a samba shared directory ( \\192.168.1.254\Router\Games ) and paste it to the share's root ( \\192.168.1.254\Router )
and I figured out that something is wrong: it is not a cut+paste but a copy+delete action

Steps to reproduce:
1. cut a big file from a SMB subdirectory \\server\share\dir\bigfile
2. paste to the share root \\server\share
3. wait :D


Actual results:

The file is TRANSFERRED from the share to my pc (!!) and then back to that share, so a move operation is translated into 2 copy operation
this file was a 2GB file, so instead of a 1 second operation it was a 20 minutes operation....

Expected results:
the file has to be moved!

Does this happen every time?
yes, but only if I paste it in the share root

Other information:
the same thing does not happen if using windows explorer, or if using a SSH share

A lot of changes to the networking have happened in the 2.22 cycle. Can you still reproduce this with Nautilus >=2.22, as I can't locally.
Comment 2 Nicolò Chieffo 2008-10-08 18:57:40 UTC 
Correctly works now
