Currently, in 1.6.10, there is no check to make sure that a parent directory is in the path being copied. This means that Thunar allows a parent directory to be moved into a subdirectory (ie-/var/www/js can be moved into /var/www/js). Two solutions to this problem occur to me: a) Check to make sure that the parent directory isn't being moved into a subdirectory (each file would be checked if directory, and if so, skipped with message why); b) unselect directories when going into a parent directory so that the directory can't unintentionally be selected.
