- If you Drag&Drop inbetween two drives, copying is default function. If you do want to force moving, press Shift before dropping

- If you Drag&Drop inbetween the same drive, moving is default function. If you do want to force copying, press Ctrl before dropping.

This is the way both MS Explorer and XnView work.

:) Hi !

• This is the behaviour of Win Explorer, it's twisted and impractical.

- The risk to confuse and mistake is high :|

• In Total Commander, this has been improved for ages like :

Drag & Drop from any drive¦hard-disc —> Any drive¦hard-disc = Copy.
Drag & Drop + Shift¦Alt from any drive¦hard-disc —> Any drive¦hard-disc = Move.
(Shift¦Alt means Shift OR Alt…)
This is much better IMHO, and in the opinion of myriads TC users…

Thanks Clo, thanks Helmut for howto perform a copy and a move... :|

but the real problem is that the drag and drop move with replace choosen gives an 'uninformative error message' as quoted above :(

using win 98 se and 'XnView v1.82.4 version Complete (Plugins & NConvert) Setup (Toutes langues) (6.8Mb)' installed

Perhaps a problem only on windows 98? Someone could check?
