Tracking files moved to different subdirectories

[krkost]

I enjoy the program but wish you would develop a way for it to track files that have merely been moved to different subdirectories. As it works currently (unless I am missing something), you have to manually delete all of the target files before executing the sync or else all of the moved files will end up in their old and new locations on each drive.

I think the program is great, and very useful. I use it to back up all my important data to an SD card that is inside a slot on my laptop, every 6 minutes. So in case of hard drive failure, I have lost at most 6 minutes of data.

BUT whenever I move a file, or even change its name, ViceVersa Pro interprets that as TWO separate operations: the DELETION of one file, and the CREATION of another.

As a result, my Archive folder gets filled up with useless copies of files that differ only in a name change (or a folder location).

Also, if I do so much as change the name of a root folder that has many subdirectories, VVPro will take FOREVER to run as it busily deletes the ENTIRE SUBDIRECTORY FILE BY FILE, and then RECREATES THE ENTIRE SUBDIRECTORY FILE BY FILE on the backup disk.

That is SO inefficient. A professional sync/backup program would not do that. VVPro fails in this regard, big time.
