--- Comment #33 from sbahl...@mudgum.net ---
I just came across this when helping a new user move from windows. The popup
was immediately annoying to them as they expected it to be obvious to move with
dragging. The human intuition seems to be dragging == moving. The person I was
working with demonstrated to me by grabbing an object on the table and
"dragging" it to another location. The object is physically moved and not
cloned and by intuition a new user expects similar inside the virtual world of
the computer desktop system.
I'm not a KDE user myself, but felt it's the best option for this user, and
when they complained about the popup on drag-drop files I figured there must be
an option to change the behavior and was surprised to discover there isn't.
I have read through the bug threads and the comments in the patch development,
and I agree that the Windows "magic" and inconstant behavior is not optimal. I
would rather see a defined and consistent behavior like always assume Move.
Even the ex-Windows user complained that when dragging from one device to
another Windows made a copy instead of moving as expected.
