Moving folders · Folders an app is using
What does "Scanning folders for recent writes" mean when I start a move?
Short answer: Before copying, Data Parking checks each selected folder for recently changed files. Folders with one are held, and the file is named, because something may still be writing to them; the rest go ahead. You can adjust or bypass this in the gear.
It's Data Parking checking each folder you selected for files changed recently, before it starts copying. If it finds one, it holds that folder (and tells you which file) because something may still be writing to it; the others go ahead.
The check stops at the first recent file it finds, so it's usually quick, though a very large folder can take a moment. You can change how recent counts, or bypass the check, in Data Parking's gear.
