Description Supreme1012 2009-08-28 01:20:04 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I have a WD 1 tb external hard drive and I have twice now had almost all the selected files deleted while moving from and to the external hard drive. Both occasions involved more than 50,000 files(both times were photos), and I used the "move to" command. The notification showed up but after a long time with not activity it showed "completed moving x files" but the x number was only a few hundred instead of the full selection. Since I used the "move to" command there was no way to recover any of the files, undo move just moved the couple hundred files back to the previous directory and the thousands of other files disappeared as if they had never been.

This I believe should be a high severity bug issue. If you need more info I will try to tell you as much as I can about what happened.

running OpenSUSE 11.1 x64 with KDE 4.3 Factory
