[Bug 243657] New: Dragging photos to Dolphin moves them without warning

Bugzilla from dkde@gardnersworld.org
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=243657

           Summary: Dragging photos to Dolphin moves them without warning
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.2.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Albums GUI
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.4)
OS:                Linux

If I drag photos from Digikam to Dolphin, the photos are moved
instead of copied. If I then drag them back to Digikam, I have
to tag them all over again.

I often use Digikam to search for some photos that I want to
copy to a USB key or external drive, or to some other location
from which I can share them or upload them for printing. However,
when I select the images and drag them to Dolphin, they are moved
(i.e., deleted from the Digikam album) without warning and without
any offer to copy them instead (as Dolphin would do if I were
dragging between two Dolphin windows).

Whatever about the copy vs. move debate for operations within
Digikam (there are lots of issues open on that one), I think that
dragging to an external application/location should not move the
image files away from the Digikam albums. It is too easy to lose
images this way if I do not notice that the originals have been
deleted. If noticed, the images must be copied back (laboriously,
if they have come from different albums, having been selected from
a search result) and re-tagged.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Bumb

Agree on this one. And the digiKam developers do too. See this bug report:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219908

digiKam developers say they rely on Qt and Dolphin code. Ask to fill bug report
for Dolphin. See for example comment 12 and 15.

Related is an other bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57083
Summary: Moving attachments from email is not a preferred action in most cases.

This means there are some important cases where the default drag action/dialog
should be different to give a good user experience.

I think the solution should work on KDE and Gnome and other freedesktop
environments. I will file a bug for Gnome too.

My tree cents would be that the application where the dragging starts should be
 able to override/set the action that is going to take place.

I could not reproduce the issue: If I drag a photo from digikam to Dolphin,
Dolphin opens a context menu with "Copy Here" and "Link Here". If I select
copy, the file gets copied and not moved. Do I miss something?

Hi Peter,

Sorry. I guess you are right. I don't use Dolphin, I use Nautilus. So I
misinterpreted other bug reports and was therefore uninformed when I
'supported'  this bug report.

I filed a bug report for Nautilus on the same issue. Nautilus doesn't have this
context menu and defaults to move the pictures.

I guess I should leave the usability discussion on the default action in the
context menu to people actually using Dolphin.

I will focus on the Nautilus side of this issue.

Thanxs for the response!

Michiel
