Move gives "Problem(filename)"

[Guest]

Version 1.82.2, (Alt-M) Move to folder no longer works. Gives uninformative error message. Can still do Copy then Delete, so seems to be the Move command itself, not file or directory problems.

I think that you have 95, 98 or Me?

I have the same problem for moving files into xnview 1.82.2 onto W98SE.

I'm the O.P.

Is there a "known solution"?

I have problem to! I have system Windows98SE (czech version with last servicepack) and version XnView 1.82.2. When I move picture from directory into another directory, using right-content menu or ALT+M hotkeys, XnView send error message "Problem (...filename...)". This windows title is empty. Version XnView 1.82 beta 3 is Ok and files moved it!

Hello everyone!

I just discovered your nice xnview
it looks so great that I will give it a deep trial
(specialy because I have 2000 gif palette reduction to make )

But the newbie has a problem: the move of an image with the mouse from one folder to another were it is asked to replace a file gives an 'uninformative error message' as quoted above

using win 98 se and xnview 1.82.4

Did I miss/mess up something?

How do you make the move? Drag&Drop from icon view to folder view?

Yes...

but there is something even more funny
In order to answer your question I tried to reproduce the error
I have 2 hard disks C: and D:

If I drag and drop from D:\... to C:\... the replacement works
but if I drag and drop from C:\... to C:\... it gives the error????!!!!

Very strange and puzzling

Just checked, from D:\ to D:\... same error

Annoying, because otherwise I do like your work a lot

[Gorodoff]

ok got it

between two different drives the drag&drop defaults to a copy
on the same drive, it defaults to a move
if I force a copy on the same drive the copy with remplace works

so the problem is linked to the move operation 'only'

so until the problem is fixed there is a turn around to still have the benefit of the remplace dialog: keep doing copy and replace and then delete the source images

Conclusion I am going to drop my ancient acdsee32 for the more powerfull xnview

PS: version installed is the 'XnView v1.82.4 version Complete (Plugins & NConvert) Setup (Toutes langues) (6.8Mb)'
