I'm glad we follow the standard GTK way of doing this, but it's been bothering me for a while. Do people really copy files more often than they move them?
Generally I only copy file when I'm backing them up, and ninety percent of the time I'm moving them - into a folder I just made for better organization, to another hard drive with more free space, etc. Wouldn't it make sense if the default was move and you held shift to make a copy? Or do other people copy files more often? sebastian Aaron wrote: > On 4/25/06, Anders Conbere <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>Ooop, shift drag will work just fine for me.
