I tested move and copy operations using Folder node ... there are many problems.
I had three crashes ... your bug submission server is down again (?) ... I will send the .el files to Ludek
the Location node appears to get corrupted by move operations
drag and drop operations can mess up your folder structure like this
MM5 is reacting, sometimes destructively, to keystrokes entered into nonrelated windows (ie. other applications)
Crashes
seemed to be random crashes while using Folders node ... one time happened as soon as started MM5 and I opened the Folders node ... other times I was just navigating within the node
will send some .el files to Ludek ... also some debug logs & mp4 files
Folder structure messed up
looks like if you start to do a drag operation, but see that something is wrong (eg. not selected all intended files, or are doing a move instead of a copy, etc) ... so you do not complete the drop ==> MM5 goes into a recursive rampage, and messes up the folder structure as illustrated above
will send mp4 & debug log to Ludek
Location node corrupted by cut and paste
after moving a folder, the EntireLibrary>Location node is corrupted ... missing folder
is hard to be sure with all the frustration and confusion caused by all the crashes and folder structure corruption, but it may happen when using cut & paste, ... ie. not drag and drop ... the files get moved, but they are not in their correction location when viewed from EntireLibrary>Location
sending mp4 file to Ludek
Unable to select multiple folders for drag and drop
select multiple folders using the tick on top right corner ... drag and drop ==> the drop cursor says that it has multiple objects, but only the folder that was under the cursor at the start of the drag is moved
I thought that was a really disappointing WAD ... but it would not make much sense, and the drop cursor indicates that you intended this to work as expected
mp4 and logs sent to Ludek
phantom destructive operations
today I have observed three instances where MM5 has reacted to key strokes when it it is not the active application ... right now MM5 is on one screen, while I am entering this report on my 2nd screen ... MM5 is responding to keystrokes I make here, ie backspace and the delete key ... sometimes destructively, .. this deletion just popped up in MM5, responding to something I did here.
yesterday I clicked on something in the MM4 Folder panel, and it spontaneously started a move operation ?! ... have not been able to replicate or capture that, but I am sure that it happened ... I had just (re)started MM5
sending a mp4 and bebug log file showing MM5 and Chrome browser sitting side-by-side, where MM5 is reacting to keystrokes in the Chrome browser window

Want a dark skin for MM5? This is the one that works best for me .. elegant, compact & clear.

It looks like this was Tester Error. I cannot replicate.
I think that I must have copied and pasted ... ie created a duplicate, rather than invoking a move
So the Location node is tracking the original copy ... which is correct.
And I presume that the copy is not in the MM db, which was why it wasn't appearing the Location node ..?
Sorry about that.

EDIT: Item 4 is added as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=17308
the same happens when drag & dropping between playlists (e.g. to move multiple playlists from one parent playlist to another parent)
EDIT2: re item 1:
The possible crash 2C9A0000 is fixed for 2292
And possible 3C804256 on scanning related to #17306 also fixed for 2292
