Strange behaviour with the copy action

PostPosted: Sun Mar 21, 2010 5:09 pm

Files are being unexpectedly moved to trash.

I have a rule that runs on folder A and it matches any file. The rule has 2 actions:

1. Copy file to folder B
2. Move file to folder Trash

Actual results:
Files are indeed copied to folder B, but are promptly moved to trash. Files in folder A remain.

Expected results:
Files to be copied from folder A to folder B. Copied files in folder A should be moved to trash. Nothing in folder B should be moved to trash.

Can anyone explain what's happening please?

The copy action makes it so that subsequent actions operate on the files at the destination, not the source. But besides, that is there a reason why you just don't do a move operation?
