After discussion on IRC, that is the issue with that:
- nautilus does move on dnd by default (if you use the same partition)
- move doesn't change the owner and permissions of what is moved
Possibles changes for it:
- doing copy instead of move by default, but that's probably not what users
expect
- making move respecting the setgid, but that's not coherent with the command
line and breaks other usecases likely
- setting an option to change the default behaviour, but copy by default is not
optimal
- having a way to flag those directories as special which change the dnd
behaviour to them
- making the dnd doing copy by default is the destination is owned by an
another user
Changing the dnd to copy when the directory is owned by an another user is
probably the best option for that
** Changed in: gnome-vfs2 (Ubuntu)
Status: Needs Info => Confirmed
--
dnd to a directory owned by an another user should default to copy (fix dnd to
setgid shared directory by example)
