    Downloading metadata

    Is metadata re-downloaded when you move a directory within a library

    Situation: I like to simplify tracking and updating ongoing shows by having actively updating series in their own directory within a library, the series that are waiting for the next season to start are in a separate directory in the library.
    e.g. 
    Library: Active Shows,
    Folders
    Q:\CurrentTV\In_Progress
    Q:\CurrentTV\WaitForNextSeason

    Question: If I move a show's root directory from 'In_Progress" to " WaitForNextSeason' and vice versa, when Jellyfin scans the directory for changes, does it completely re-download all the Metadata for the show or does it recognise that this is the same show as it already has metadata for and so will reuse the existing metadata, thumbnails etc?

    If there are other ways to do this please let me know.
