cut = copy

[view]

Hi,
In everything 1.5, when moving a file, the original file remains in the previous folder, just like when copying.
What could be the reason for this?

No delete rights on the source folder ?

[view]

no I don't think, manually I can delete (inside everything)

Thank you for the issue report view,

How are you moving the file?
For example: Ctrl + X, Ctrl + V or drag drop or Edit -> Move to folder?

Does the file get moved and Everything doesn't detect the old file being deleted? (can you open the old file?)
-Please make sure Index -> Update Indexes is checked.

Debug logs might help:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start Debug Logging....
• Move a file in Everything.
• From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop Debug Logging....
  ---This will open your %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log.txt in Notepad.
• Please reply with the contents of this file or create a [/rurl=/bugreport]bug report[/rurl] with this file attached.

Ctrl + X in Everything, Ctrl + V in Explorer

In Everything I see the copied file in new and old directory, I still can open in the old directory (and in the new too), the file in the old folder remains selected; when I move the moved file back to the old folder in Explorer, I am asked if I want to replace tor rename.

Everything sees the cut.
Looks like Windows Explorer is performing a copy-paste instead of a cut-paste.

There might be a permission issue.
Although, I have not been able to reproduce the issue..

Please try running Everything as a standard user and see if the issue persists:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab on the left.
• Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
• Uncheck Run as administrator.
• Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
• Click OK.
• Exit Everything (from the File menu, click Exit).
• Restart Everything.

What is the path of the file being cut? what is the path of the paste destination?

Unfortunately nothing has changed with the service...

What is the path of the file being cut? what is the path of the paste destination?

From Y:\A1t\ to Y:\11test\, It is a veracrypt volume

Background: I have been working with 1.4 for both my PC and the Veracrypt volume, but this version started at some point (or I only noticed it then) to show (empty) files from the disconnected Veracrypt volume, which I don't want. I tried to work with version 1.4 with 2 different databases, one installed, the other portable, but they don't seem to be independent.
1.4 and 1.5 work well in parallel, but unfortunately with the problem above...

I'm glad that I'm not the only one with this problem.

What still works for me is dragging the file from Everything to an explorer window, that still moves a file. But both Ctrl + X and the Cut option from the right mouse click menu only copies.

Oh and Edit -> Move to Folder also works as it should.

I'm using Version 1.5.0.1383a (x64)

Edit: I ran 1.4 Portable without changing any settings and it had no problems.

I also closed 1.5a and then ran the Portable version of 1.5a and it had the same problem as my installed version of 1.5a has.

Not to hijack thread, but when I saw this post I thought I'd try it:

Select some files in Everything.
Press Ctrl+X
Move focus to a file contained in a different folder.
Press Ctrl+V.
Sure enough the cut files were moved to the folder containing the focused file.

I didn't know we could do that! Very useful.

I haven't been able to reproduce the issue with Veracrypt on my end.

Edit: I ran 1.4 Portable without changing any settings and it had no problems.

The only difference between 1.4 and 1.5 is Everything 1.5 also adds a Shell IDList Array to the clipboard.
Maybe this is causing troubles..

I will add an option to disable Shell IDList Array for the next alpha update.
I will report back once this is ready for testing.

Does the issue persist if you enable clipboard_simple_pidl:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  simple
• Select: clipboard_simple_pidl
• Set the value to: true
• Click OK.

Tried it with my installed version and the portable one and no changes the only way to Move a file is to drag it from the Everything window to the Explorer window.

It's quite mystifying because my other PC and Laptop work just fine.
