Public bug reported:

When I move a document to a folder on the same disk, by default I move the 
folder/file, what I expect is that it asks me if: copy, move or create a 
connection, as does the Dolphin file manager.
Many times it happens that I have to copy files/folders and I find myself 
moving these files, is not very friendly as a user experience.

I attach a screenshot to show what the Dolphin file manager does, and
what I expect Nautilus to do.
