            Bug ID: 14376
           Summary: Thunar cpopies selected files instead of moving within
                    the same folder in NTFS partition
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: 1.6.15
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Core
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org

  Target Milestone: 1.8.0

Thunar copies selected files instead of moving within the same folder on NTFS
formatted partition.  

Steps to produce: Enter into any mounted NTFS partition. Create a folder named
A. Paste bunch of files in it. Now create another folder called B within the
folder A. Select all the contents within the folder A except the folder B(means
select all the files in folder A, but do not select the folder B). Now drag and
drop the files over folder B. You'll see that all the selected files is still
present in folder A. Now when you enter folder B you'll see the files have been
copied there instead of moving. Which is illogical and wastes space by creating
duplicate copies of files within the same device/partition.

If the partition is formatted in ext4 or FAT32(tested using a removable flash
drive) file system this behaviour doesn't occur and files in foler A gets
moved(instead of copied) in folder B.

OS: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

I am aware of the same bug reported here-
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11526. But it was marked as resolved
more than 3 years ago and I can't reopen it.
