MOVE image to new folder instead of COPY on click-n-drag?

Post by jpn »

Hi,

I'm a Digikam refugee -- and just discovered XnView. At first glance -- wow ! :-)

One question: when I click and drag an image from the display pane to a different folder -- dropping it into the new folder in the file browser -- the file is COPIED , not MOVED.

I see a menu item to "Move to ...", but -- is it possible to change that behavior so click-and-drag MOVES the file?

Thanks!

Weird. When I do this, it is getting moved.
