optimise a move via GUI and any re-hashing, due to FS move, or Transform, etc. to update the last_hash_dt so we dont keep redoing the md5 hash as ctime > last_hash_dt, but there is no new content so no new last_hash_dt was being modified

             FIX: BUG-69
         TEST: what if we try to move a path in settings, should not allow this?
 
-    * when we do a legitimate move of a file, update last_scanned_dt otherwise FS change is newer, and it will 're-scan'
-    * when we scan and there is no hash diff then, update last_scanned_dt otherwise FS change is newer, and it will 're-scan' continually
-
     * remember last import dir, so you can just go straight back to it
 
     * in Fullscreen mode and next/prev dropped out of FS when calling /viewlist route
