move all files not working
« on: July 12, 2017, 03:45:18 am »

it's actually been not working for a while, but i'm embarking on a big move and tag event on a lot of albums, so it's getting to me

i have an "incoming" watched folder, that ONLY sees FLAC.  nothing else at all.  i'm moving the albums using windows into the incoming folder in batches, then using RMC to put them into their final resting place once i'm done the tagging etc.

however, in 75% of cases, it's leaving behind the original folder, with ancillary files in it (artworks, logs, etc.).  i can't find a reason why 25% are working!  there isn't anything different about those folders

yes, i have move all files checked  :P  i've also deleted the preset and made a new one, i've reset the import options, etc.

any suggestions would be great...

Are the files not complete?  Or locked by another program?

thanks Jim

i should probably explain better

the FLAC files are moving, but not the images, logs, booklets, etc.

- i am only importing the FLAC, no other files (verified!)
- no AV installed
- no other programs running (other than the necessary windows junk)
- file permissions are good (verified)
- no files are corrupted (either the audio or the other files) that i can find
- occasionally, a folder will just move everything for no reason that i can ascertain.  there is nothing different about the folders that work

in import settings for the folder, i have
ignore file previously removed - checked
update for external changes - checked
ignore special files - checked

everything else is unchecked

i am using RMC with expressions for directories and filenames

In my experience move all files doesn't move the files which has been opened in MC.  For example dragged to playing now in some point and therefore entered in some of the MC's table even though files hasn't been imported. These will be moved if they are selected to be moved but not if they sould be moved because of ticking the "move all files"
