When I try moving a video file, a message "Cannot remove source" pops up

Post by baalexis »

In XnViewMP, every time I try moving a video file to different location (alt+m) from the viewer mode I keep getting the message: "Cannot remove source". I tried stopping the video playback first. I also tried running as administrator. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone have this work for them? Am I doing it wrong? Thanks!

I double-checked. No, it does not work from the browser mode either.

Yes, I use the Autoplay setting. However, I tried turning it off and on again - nothing changes. I also tried simply stopping the video playback and moving the file - still the same result.

Yes, I use Windows 11.
