Undo History : Cancelled ops

Post by meteorquake »

I notice that in the Undo history it also includes as Moves, items I moved in and cancelled because they would have overwritten an existing file.
It's useful to know they were cancelled but this I would think becomes a bug in that it offers an Undo for it when no action was in fact taken. Clicking the Undo would if clicked I presume move the pre-existing file.
I'm not sure if this is a trivial thing to correct. If it is it's worth doing, I often use the Undo History to review my actions to make sure I didn't mis-move or mis-delete anything. If it's not trivial it's not high priority. I presume it would be much easier to fix this when you implement a native move/copy rather than trying to work out what the system move/copy carried out, although these were a drag from Explorer into Everything, which I suppose might require seeing if the target files actually changed.

The Windows shell handles the drop.

Everything receives no information on the file operations performed.
Everything only knows the intended operation (move / copy / create shortcut).



Please try the Index Journal to view the performed file operations.
Moves and renames can be undone here.
