When I move a file from one directory to another one (on the same drive), Total Commander makes a copy of the file in the target directory and then deletes it from the source. It feels like moving files to another network drive.
When I use the background queue (F2) Total Commander behaves different. Here it's like renaming the file.
Moving directories shows the same behaviour.
In normal mode all files (and subfolders) of the directory are copied and deleted seperately.
When the background queue is used, the whole directory is moved in one single step. This is much faster.
The verify option is not selected in both cases.
You can reproduce this best when you move large files and/or large directories with a large number of subdirectories and files.
Here you can see that the whole moving process is much slower when you do not use the background queue.
This problem persists on network drives. It doesn't occur on local hard drives.
When moving files (and/or directories) to same partition, this can be done by moving information about file, without moving the file data itself (this is similar to simple rename operation).
When moving to another partition, file data must also be physically moved (copy + delete).
Actually Netwarebugfix=1 does exactly this: Copy+Delete instead of Move. And indeed this is currently only supported in the foreground. Since this Netware bug was fixed in later versions of Netware, there should be no need to use Netwarebugfix=1 any more.
