Re: bad moves

Thankyou Peter for the feedback. That is most appreciated.

However, I can't reproduce the behaviour you describe. I would like to explore 
exactly what happened, so we can urgently fix what is needed.

Following your example, were you starting to move

the folder /home/user1/foo

or

the file /home/usr/foo/test1.txt ?

From your description, it sounds like you moved the folder. (By the way, the 
commands in emelfm2 work on whatever is selected, NOT on the contents of what 
is selected, if that selection happens to be a folder. So, if you had wanted to 
proceed instead of cancelling, the destination folder /home/usr2/foo and all 
its contents would normally be replaced by the source folder /home/user1/foo 
and all its contents. To move item(s) in the original directory to the other 
one, you would need to select those item(s), not the folder itself.)

To cancel the move, did you
press Return key, or
press Esc key, or
press Alt-N keys, or
click cancel button, or
click the close-window icon in the dialog title-bar ?
