"Invalid cross-device link" error when trying to rename to a different disk

[Piotr Krukowiecki]

I'm using phatch from ppa for karmic, 0.2.7.

It gives me this error:

Can not apply action Rename on image 'zima.jpg' in folder:
/media/...
(18, 'Invalid cross-device link')

The /media is just a removable disk, and the Rename parameters are left to default.

The log has following:

Error 0:Can not apply action Rename on image 'zima.jpg' in folder:
/media/2ee9fa70-9c2e-40a5-a350-6c17f163f563/ZdjeciaPodzielone/Test/Source

(18, 'Invalid cross-device link')

Action:{'fields': {'File Name': u'<filename>',
            'In': u'<desktop>/phatch/<subfolder>',
            '__enabled__': 'yes'},
 'label': 'Rename'}

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/phatch/core/api.py", line 614, in apply_action_to_photo
    photo = action.apply(photo, read_only_settings, cache)

    os.rename(info['path'], filename)

So this might be more of a wishlist ("support renaming/moving between disks/partitions")

The rename action should use shutil.move instead of os.rename. I'll fix that in the next release.
