Files randomly vanishing

<< < (2/2)

madmelmon:
Ah yes, one more thing: it's never done it a second time. I loaded the exact same files (copied from the backup) and did the same thing, and everything is fine now.

I mistyped in my earlier post about the option, so I corrected that for other readers, thanks.

I don't see anything wrong, but you're showing a RMCF with no changes. I meant show me one where it's going to do a change, and then I could see if there's an issue.  You'd probably spot that yourself, but if people answering questions assumed the person asking was doing everything right, not many questions would get answered, would they? :)

The obvious thing is that that you're using several fields in your rename. If any of them are empty, then you're going to have a problem. But you should see that in the preview.

Regarding your "one more thing" that forces us to draw one of two conclusions:
1. Something changed on the system in the meantime; a folder appeared or disappeared, or files did, that were either causing a conflict or caused a missing location or something like that.
2. You only think you did exactly the same thing twice but actually there was a difference.

But you could probably surmise those two yourself. RMCF has had bugs from time to time, but they are not intermittent.  The same action with the same input under the same conditions produces the same result.  Since you don't have video of what you were actually doing when this went wrong that one time, I can't say any more, sorry.

madmelmon:
Gotcha. Thanks again for the help, at least i know I'm not doing anything completely silly (I think.)

Anyway, here's a screencap of a similar move (from my desktop to the final location, like I did when the problem happened.) This one went fine, like it does the vast majority of the time.

What's odd is that I was doing TWO albums at the same time this last time, but only one vanished.

Thanks again!
