 * Hi
    for testing reasons i moved 3 images from “uploads” to “testfolder”. Since
   it was suscessfull i removed them back into “uploads”. The “testfolder” seems
   empty now when checking it via the plugin.
 * But when i check via FTP i still see all thumbnails from these 3 images in the“
   testfolder” while the original images are back in “uploads”
 * This means:
    Upload –> subfolder: Thumbnails included Subfolder –> Uploads: Tumbnails
   not included
 * And it gets even worse:
    The thumbnails are double now. Once in the subfolder
   AND in uploads

 * Hi Maren
 * Have a look at the screen above the images
    There is a button that defines what
   you want to do copy/move Default it is on “copy” So if you want to move images,
   you need to click that button first. Regards, Peter

 * I believe the move/copy button is usually set to move when the plugin is first
   installed.
 * This issue came up last week for another user. While testing I did see one instance
   when not all the thumbnails were moved. But when I was attempting to debug this
   function on Monday, I was unable to reproduce this it. Note that the code first
   moves the original image to its new location, then if there are scaled images,
   it will move them, and then it gets a list of the images’ thumbnails and moves
   each one individually.

 * Hi Alan,
 * If so then Maren can check this to make sure it is set to “move”
    Maybe the procedure
   to move scaled images does not end properly. We had an issue with scaled images
   in the past. But that has been resolved.
