Deleting a file, folder in the Index Journal

is always shown under / as "File / Folder move"? Not as "File / Folder delete"? Or / and "File / Folder rename" (as deleted folders / files to the bin get another name in the bin)?

When I move this file
777777777777777777777888888888888888888888.txt
from J: to I: this is shown:

So this is not shown as a move, but as everything else? When is a real move a move in the journal? Or what is a move in the journal?

I would think this is moving a file. But it isn't?

How could I show the seconds additionally to the date under the "Date" column in the journal?

The Index Journal will use the action used on disk, which might be different to the action performed.

Deleting a file/folder will typically 'move' the file/folder to the recycle bin.



Moving a file/folder on the same volume will be a 'move'.
Moving a file/folder to a different volume will be a 'copy' + 'delete'.
(copy is shown as 'create' + 'modify')

So the real action done by the user (mostly) is not the action shown in the journal. OK, a bit irritating maybe.
