I believe I may have found a bug, or "hidden feature".
I am attempting to find a good way to import new media into a directory that has already been imported into MC.
Given a Folder with naming structure as follows: K:\MP3\SomeGenre\ArtistName\AlbumName
I have previously imported the entire tree of K:\MP3 into MC
There is a second folder as follows:
K:\INCOMING\ArtistName\AlbumName
I copy from CD-R into K:\INCOMING with that naming structure of ..\ArtistName\AlbumName using Windows Explorer.
Then, I use MC to import the K:\INCOMING tree.
Using MC, I navigate down to Drives & Devices, and navigate the tree to K:\INCOMING. I then use MC to drag K:\INCOMING\ArtistName into K:\MP3\SomeGenre\ -- and choose Move.
This seems to work fine so long as there isn't already an existing folder with the same ArtistName.
If there is, this problem happens:
Example --
Within MC (not Windows Explorer), drag K:\INCOMING\Alec_Empire\SomeAlbum into K:\MP3\Electronic\
However, there already exists a folder called K:\MP3\Electronic\Alec_Empire
What ends up happening is the folder I dragged and chose a Move on somehow disappears into the aether. There is no pop-up to warn that a duplicate folder name exists. In Windows Explorer the behavior would be as follows:
1) Window pops-up to warn you there is a duplicate folder and if you want to overwrite.
2) If you choose yes, it recursively does this for each duplicate in the sub-tree.
So, my files basically disappeared, and I can no longer find them anywhere on the file system.
This is MC 11
