1. Create a new transfer via "Create New Transfer > Create New Seed".
2. Stop Tixati.
3. Move the seeded data to another disk.
4. Open tixati
5. Try "Local Files > Force Re-check", or "Local Files > Location > Move".
If everything done right, it always results in no changes of the location. Force re-check doesn't work either in this situation. This happens only on the transfers created in the program (via "Create New Transfer > Create New Seed").
Can you confirm?
This is from the "Tixati: File Operations" window.

Yes it seems you are right, Tixati acts different for created torrents and opened torrents in described situation.
For opened torrent Tixati displays "File missing (force check to override)" status, but allows to move, it sees files in destination location and checks them. Tixati also allows to force check, after that it displays 0% complete. Then you can use move, like before, or start the torrent - Tixati allocates empty files and start downloading. At this point you can still use the move function, Tixati sees files in destination and checks them, it doesn't blindly move empty files over the 100% complete copy. This is great, in earlier versions I could overwrite files if I wasn't careful. With 2.11 I couldn't do this even if I tried.
For created torrent Tixati won't move or check, status says "Unable to open file: The system can not find the specified path" (part after the colon is translated from localized Windows version). In this situation you can close Tixati, move files back to original location, open Tixati and force check. Then use move function inside Tixati. This will work OK, and Tixati is seeding when moving files to another drive. Of course it would be great if I could just use move like for opened torrent.
