Hello,
I wanted to move a few previously imported images to another folder.
The dt documentation says:
move
Physically move selected images (parent file plus all accompanying XMP
sidecar files) to another filesystem folder.
However, when I try it, dt only copies the image files (not the sidecar
files) to the new destination and leaves the original image files and
the sidevar files in the source directory. Also the images are still
part of the old film roll.
My expectation was that after the move image and sidecar files would be
in the destination directory, but not in the source directory, and that
the film roll content would reflect the change.
My steps in detail:
* "collect images": original film roll
* select images (click on first, shift-click on last)
* "selected images" - "move..."
* in "select directory" window select destination directory,
* and click "select as destination"
* in confirmation window "do you really want to physically move 3
images to ..." click "yes"
* for a moment a message seems to appear in the left lower corner.
Nothing else happens, result as described above.
Am I doing anything wrong?
What is the correct procedure to achieve what I expected move to do?
I'm using dt 3.4.1.1 on Windows.
The images to be moved are TIFFs (film scans).
Source and destination directory are on different volumes, i.e. the move
means in reality copy and delete source.
I'd appreciate any help or explanation.
Best regards,
Ralf M.
