xfce4 drag&drop behaviour

nilleso · 04-16-2007, 10:41 AM

Hi. Why is the default drag&drop behaviour in xfce to copy the file/dir ?

Is there any way to change the default behaviour to mv instead of cp? Ideally being able to right-click drag and then be presented with a choice upon releasing the mouse button would be nice.

comments appreciated.
cheers

open xffm. go to preferences. uncheck copy on drag. or shift+ctrl+c if you prefer keyboard shortcuts. hope this helps.

xffm is not installed. Thunar only... and Thunar does not have a similar change available that I can find.

strange, I notice after I've upgraded to xfce 4.4.1 (and Thunar 0.8) that now the default is to mv when you drag files within Thunar but not to or from folders on the desktop.
meh. good enough.
