Moving files on sd card takes more than 2x the time that it takes to copy them #604

pezcurrel commented 2 years ago

Using Simple File Manager to move a 307 mb directory with 62 jpg files from one directory on my phone's "external" sd card to another directory on my phone's "external" sd card (same partition) takes 40 seconds; copying the same directory takes 18 seconds. On the internal sd card both operations take 16 seconds.

Sorry, I tried reproducing it now for 3 times and couldn't so probably I messed up something when making tests for this issue, https://github.com/SimpleMobileTools/Simple-File-Manager/issues/603, that I can reproduce always. I'll close this, sorry again, please have a look at the other one though :)

well I am doing copy/delete in some cases indeed, just to double check that the file has been copied properly before deleting the original one. File operations on Android are ridiculous and it keeps changing with every damn new OS version, so it is better to be a bit slower than to delete some files.
