Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.0) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages when I move files in konq inside the same partition, it takes rather long. looks like konq first copies all files to the destination and then deletes the source files in stead of moving them. 'mv' is almost instantanious.
I have tested it and I cannot reproduce. KDE does move the files and directories and does not copy and remove them. (I have also tested to copy and it is much much slower than the move.) (You are not using media: , are you?) Have a nice day!
ok, sorry you are right. when moving files in the normal filesystem (/media/sde1) moving is fast. when moving files in media:/sde1 moving is slow. didn't notice this at first. why would moving be slow in media: ?

Because media: is basically a remote KIO protocol and not a local one. So KDE does not know automatically that the file is local and could be moved better. So I am not sure if this bug should be moved to kio/media (as this should be better done in the media KIO slave) or if it is a konqueror bug (as it would not call the most efficient method so that the media KIO could work correctly). Have a nice day!
This is a dupe of Bug 105806, which has been fixed for KDE 3.5.
