Default to move on drag and drop in same network location

Post by PixelDrop »

I'm pretty sure on not too long ago older versions of xyplorer when you drag and dropped files in the same network location:

//LivingRoomPC/HomeMovie/2022-09-29.mp4
to a folder in the same general location->
//LivingRoomPC/HomeMovie/2022/2022-09-29.mp4

The default action use to be to move, now it's copy, and I don't see any options to change it back to move by default in same network location.

I only see options to change the default for same drive and different drive.

Nothing has been changed here. :?

The behavior can be controlled here:
Configuration | Other | Shell Integration | Drag and Drop | Default action on drag and drop to same drive

I was watching the videos I attached and noticed in the split second in the video when the file is being copied that the File paths are different case.

\\Nuc5\h\...etc
vs
\\NUC5\H\...etc

Has anything changed in newer versions that would make locations case sensitive to be consider the same location?

Copied a file in the old version 21 just to capture a shot of it's copy dialog and it seems the file paths are staying the same case in it.

So it seems like to me for some reason the newer versions are messing up the file path case and causing network locations to be seen as different drives for drag and drop even if they are the same place.

All over your interface the path is "\\NUC5", not "\\Nuc5". Any idea where that comes from? Is it the same in a fresh instance?

UPDATE: I see now, the Mini Tree will remember any wrong case you feed to it via Address Bar. Anyway, the issue should be fixed in the next beta.
