Moving events to diferent disc loses keywords

Hey!

Whenever I move an event to a different disc, iMovie loses the Favourite/Reject and Keyword information. It happens on different user accounts, with different videos, on my MacBook Pro.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Does anyone have any advice?

MacBook Pro 17" September 2009, Mac OS X (10.6)

@harryfear - you sure mean "You have to copy and then delete"
I just made a test and I can confirm you findings.
Moving looses ALL metadata and this is a real drama if you had not made a backup. Just imagine you have a disc full of edited events and want to move them to another disk. ALL INFO IS LOST FOREVER!

So my question. When I practically want to move I CAN copy first to the new disc and then delete from the old. Right?
There are no hidden problems if you do so.

Do you have to delete from within iMovie or can you just delete the events via finder?

I also just learned that when you copy the file
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
you transfer all you keyword definition to the other mac.
