"Only files of this type" does not work with Queue

[Hacker]

Hi all,
Move a directory by pressing F6 from left to right, specify an existing filetype (like *.exe) and press F2 for Queue (or Enter if you have AlwaysCopyInBackground=2). The whole directory gets moved, regardless of filetype. Expected - move only *.exe files, like when moving in foreground.

I can confirm this, but only when moving on the same partition, and only when the target directory doesn't already exist.

This is by design - when moving entire folders, the filter applies only to the files in the directory itself, not in subdirs. Otherwise moving would be very inefficient.

Christian,
I am sorry, I do not understand - how come this is inefficient in the Queue but it works well when in foreground?

TIA

That's indeed very strange. The question is which of the two should be kept...

Christian,
I certainly vote for the expected behavior - respect the filter, just like when moving in foreground.

respect the filter, just like when moving in foreground.

I agree.

Fixed in 8.0b1, thanks!
