Move operation on same drive

Post by zed3 »

I noticed that when I set an absolute folder for temp and completed download, it makes a copy then delete (physical move) operation even when the temp folder is in the same drive than the completed folder. If I use a relative folder it makes a logical move that is a lot faster. At least that's what I think it does, because the move operation after downloading was taking forever, and got instantaneous again when I tried relative folders.

The only way to have logical move is setting relative folders?

Using 0.7.11.

It depends on the OS.
A move is tried first (at least what the OS advertises as a move).
If that fails a copy is tried.
Most OS will allow moving within the same volume.
