DirMove. (false success)

[mvg]

Looks like a bug to me. (if not ... ?)

DirRemove('testFolder1', 1) ;; pre-cleanup.

DirCreate('testFolder1\2') ;; setup
FileWrite('testFolder1\2\21.file', '21.file') ;; setup (not needed)

$iResult = DirMove('testFolder1/2', 'testFolder1/2/3/4', 0) ;; test (same result for flag 0 or 1)
ConsoleWrite('$iResult = ' & $iResult & @CRLF) ;; 1=Succes, But nothing was moved or created.)

Erm. Just ignore the stupid mixed slash use. (Although in this case its not making a difference.)

Corrected version, same results.

DirRemove('testFolder1', 1) ;; pre-cleanup.

DirCreate('testFolder1\2') ;; setup
FileWrite('testFolder1\2\21.file', '21.file') ;; setup (not needed)

$iResult = DirMove('testFolder1\2', 'testFolder1\2\3\4', 0) ;; test (same result for flag 0 or 1)
ConsoleWrite('$iResult = ' & $iResult & @CRLF) ;; 1=Succes, But nothing was moved or created.)

$iResult = DirMove('testFolder1\2', 'testFolder1\2\3\4', 1) ;; test (same result for flag 0 or 1)
ConsoleWrite('$iResult = ' & $iResult & @CRLF) ;; 1=Succes, But nothing was moved or created.)

^{... +3, and counting ...}

[mvg]

Bonus: (as I cant count)

DirCreate('testFolder1\2') ;; setup
;; or
DirCreate('testFolder1\2\3\4') ;; flag=0 fails now correctly, flag=1 still fails successfully.

What code do I need to run?

Show exact code that fails for you. Simple reproducer if you don't mind.

?
"More simpler" in this case translates to shorter* to me.
*) less code and less comments.

DirCreate('testFolder1\2')
FileWrite('testFolder1\2\21.file', '21.file')
ConsoleWrite(DirMove('testFolder1\2', 'testFolder1\2\3\4', 0) & @CRLF) ;; returns 1, but nothing was done.
ConsoleWrite(DirMove('testFolder1\2', 'testFolder1\2\3\4', 1) & @CRLF) ;; returns 1, but nothing was done.

The proposed scripts return 0 which is correct as the move cannot be performed to move to a subdir destroying the source dir
