Moving folders between disks not working #85

I want to move folders between different drives in MC. As I try to move one folder from my C drive, to for example D drive, I get an error message, that "Cannot move C:/bat to D:/test/bat No such file or directory".

For individual files, it works like a charm between drives. Moving folders on the same drive, but different folder (e.g C:/bat to C:/anyfolder/bat) works, too. The problem is when the two tabs aren't the same drive and I want to move one or more folder.

mc_error

In the picture, there is a copy of C:/bat to D:/test/bat, but when copying to D:/ the same error occurs.

This would be a key functionality for mc. The copy works flawlessly for folders between the drives, but I'm tired of copying, then deleting every time, when the move functionality should be working.

Technically you can not move between drives only copy + delete, Feature exists, shall review detection of condition and handling
