"move" sometimes acts like "copy"

Daniel Bauer-2
Hello Digikamers

I have a slightly annoying problem: when I want to move an image from
one album into another, /sometimes/ it just copies the file instead of
moving it.

(using drag and drop: dragging an image-thumbnail to the other folder in
the album tree and choosing "move" (verschieben) when releasing the
mouse button.)

It does not happen all the time, but quite often (lets say every 3rd or
4th time). I haven’t found out a systematic reason, and, yes, I am sure
I have chosen "move" and not "copy"...

This happens in the actual version, but also happened in the version I
had before (3.2 ?).

Anybody has the same problem? Anything I can do about it?

kind regards

Daniel

Yes, I also had (still have?) the same problem. But like you, I had never been able to identify some pattern that could be applied to this behaviour.

By the way, I'm also running 3.5.0, but with Fedora 19

Try holding the SHIFT-key while draging-and-droping; this moves without
asking. Maybe this works more reliable...?
