When viewing an image, pressing F7 to move and erroneously choosing the same folder that the image is located in, causes the image to be erased. There should be an error stating that you cannot move to the same location and the move action should be prevented.

Enable the checkbox to warn before overwriting (recommended).

It does seem to be a bug despite there being an option to warn you. Windows does not allow you to overwrite a file with itself, let alone erase the file if you attempt to.Originally posted by Bhikkhu Pesala View PostComment

I agree. If the target was overwritten (as the dialog says will happen), that would be OK. But the file is deleted and you end up with no version of the file! Definitely a bug.Originally posted by cmatrix View PostComment
