            Bug ID: 15727
           Summary: Replacing a file via Cut and Paste in the same
                    filesystem makes a copy
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: 1.8.7
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
          Reporter: chrono at a5.33mail.com
  Target Milestone: 1.8.8

To reproduce:

fallocate -l 20G bigfile
mkdir moveto
touch moveto/bigfile

In Thunar:

1) Cut the first "bigfile"
2) Paste into "moveto"
3) This folder already contains a file "bigfile", hit Replace

Thunar starts to copy the file instead of moving it to the subdir. At the end
of the operation, the source file is removed and the destination file is
replaced with a copy of the first.
