Description BEllis 2024-10-22 20:12:50 UTC
SUMMARY
If I try to move a file to an "album" (or in this case, to a subfolder within the root folder), DigiKam brings back a "Could not move file..." bug. 

This happens both via dragging and dropping into a folder, as well as moving via the context menu on any image.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows 10

Check whether the write permissions in the folder are correct. Furthermore, the file/folder must not be open in other programs.
The file/folder may then be locked under Windows. This is a known problem that we cannot fix.

I did adjust the read/write permissions beforehand, and I also edited the security settings to have full user access 
So far, neither has worked. 
I can still tag & rate files, it's only moving them in Digikam that is the problem.

Is there some way to check if it is locked, and unlock it?

Install DebugView program from Microsoft to capture the debug traces at digiKam run time as explained here :

Report the traces in this file.

Is it a local collection or via network? Are the folders part of a Windows network share?

Hi,

The 8.7.0 pre-release Windows installer from today have been rebuilt from
scratch with Qt 6.8.3, KDE 6.12, OpenCV 4.11 + CUDA support, Exiv2 0.28.5, ExifTool 13.27, ffmpeg 7, all image codecs updated to last version (jxl, avif, heif, aom, etc.).

Please try with this version to see if your problem still reproducible...

Thanks in advance
Best regards
