``import_move``
Either ``yes`` or ``no``, indicating whether to **move** files into the
library directory when using ``beet import``. This is like the
``import_copy`` option but keeps only one copy of the imported file. (This
can be risky—it's a good idea to keep a backup in case beets doesn't do what
you expect with your files.) Defaults to ``no``.
library directory when using ``beet import``.
Defaults to ``no``.
The effect is similar to the ``import_copy`` option but you end up with only
one copy of the imported file. ("Moving" works even across filesystems; if
necessary, beets will copy and then delete when a simple rename is
impossible.) Moving files can be risky—it's a good idea to keep a backup in
case beets doesn't do what you expect with your files.
This option *overrides* ``import_copy``, so enabling it will always move
(and not copy) files.
