Well, I'm pretty sure the files are being copied and not moved

I made sure a couple of files in my test library had object ids before moving the library - the same files in the new location had no object id (object ids are only created when they're needed)

If I move files with File Explorer, xplorer2 or File Menu Utils the Object Ids are retained, if I copy the same files the Object Ids are not retained.

Also - the centre-screen blue progress bar flashes "Copied xxxx..." as it progresses

=================

If for some reason a library folder is deleted in the file manager (intentionally or inadvertently), then next time calibre starts it recreates the folder as an empty library without any warning.

I am almost certain it previously threw an message of some sort - I reset the confirmation dialogues to make sure it I hadn't hidden it.

===================

Peter I used "fsutil objectid query"

C:>fsutil objectid query "D:\CalibreLibraries\_Test\Kovid Goyal\DOCX Demo (185)\DOCX Demo - Kovid Goyal.docx"
Object ID :        f64aaebbac9ee5119cad0002721fc94a
BirthVolume ID :   1cfeae92c7d42d4cbe6eab8da2df5b55
