An even simpler solution would be to say that it won't move files across file systems.

Hello Mathias,

Can you have a look at the Debian bug report bellow?

A simple solution would be to replace calls to rename() by a copy + remove().

Hi,

When I tried to move some photos, I typed :
pwd = /home/$USER/venus/Vero/photos-PAT
jhead -nf/home/$USER/photos/%Y/%Y-%m-PAT/%f 10*.jpg
This doesn't work (directory creation is OK)

If I try
jhead -nf/home/$USER/venus/photos/%Y/%Y-%m-PAT/%f 10*.jpg
This work.

Important : venus is a mountpoint for another HDD :

/etc/fstab :
LABEL=home /home ext3 defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 2 LABEL=VENUS /home/batbat/venus ext3 users,noatime,nodiratime 0 0

Looking with strace, I found :
rename("100_1610.jpg", "/home/$USER/photos/2008/2008-01-Patricia/100_1610.jpg") = -1 EXDEV (Invalid cross-device link)
write(1, "Error: Couldn't rename '100_1610"..., 98) = 98

This is why I think it's because of the 2 devices.

Maybe it's a bug for the author and not for the package ?

Thanks.
