User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1) Build Identifier: It would probably make sense to default a move instead of a copy when a drag and drop action is triggered by the user. Indeed, Thunar has a default move action when drag and dropping. Moreover, if you drag and drop a file to the trash, it doesn't make a lot of sense to see the plus overlay icon. Reproducible: Always
This may not get done. Thunar checks the source and target volume, and if they are the same, defaults to move, and if they are different, defaults to copy. Adding this might introduce bugs, and I don't want to do this right before RC2.

Hi all, This issue is still present in version 4.8 of XFCE. Users expect that dragging and dropping a file should result in a move action rather than a copy. Is there any visibility of when this issue will be tackled? Cheers, and thumbs up. Storm.
Yes, it's already fixed in Master. When moving a files from your file manager onto the desktop it will perform a move instead of a copy when the src files are write-able and they reside on the same filesystem.
