Bug ID: 486881
Summary: Change the default behavior when moving files and
directories
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: 6.1.0
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kio-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: filip.kend...@gmail.com
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Following the recent changes to default settings like Double-click by default
(although I still use a single click) to make it more familiar to people
migrating from other systems, I would like to propose a change to how the
Drag&Drop functionality works.
AFAIK all the DEs/OSes work the same way
1. Moving the file between directories -> Moves the file
2. Moving the file between drives (internal/external/network(maybe, never used
it myself)) -> Copies the file
3. Something third that I missed -> Please fill in yourself
How the Plasma behaves
1. Moving the file anywhere - Opens the popup menu asking the user to
Move/Copy/Create a link/Cancel
2. Moving the file using a specific modifier key -> Does one of the following
listed in step 1
We can maybe add a setting to enable/disable this in Dolphin (or somewhere more
appropriate for this), but have the proposed behavior set by default.
