How to set drag&drop folders to move (instead of copy)?

Post by cadu »

Hi,
When I move folders in XnView by drag&drop, even the driver is the same, it is copying the folder to new location instead of moving.
How to set drag&drop folders to move always? Actually, I'd like XnView file operations same way as default Windows File Explorer behavior.
Thanks for information,
Carlos

Thank you for your request, Carlos. There's a known problem in "Thumbnails+Details" view, see topic 0.84: Drag&Drop copies files in view 'Thumbs+Details'.

Does this perhaps explain your problem?

Hi Helmut.
I checked the known problem mentioned by you, but it seems related with "dragging and dropping an image file in the file list".
In my case, all drag&drop is direct in the tree. I'm note manipulating individual or selected files, but only folders.
I recorded my screen showing the issue: https://goo.gl/AoQclf
Is it a different bug?
If you need further info, please let me know.
Carlos
