Sadly this seems to be an old bug, I just confirmed the drag-and-drop 'Copy, not Move' behavior on the older Thunar with Xubuntu 12.04 LTS.
BTW my NTFS partition is mounted in /etc/fstab using defaults. Example file is world writable: -rwxrwxrwx 2 root root 329 Jun 26 2014 linux-writeable.rtf Same symptom on my current Linux Mint 17 with thunar version: 1.6.3-1ubuntu5 . Just to be clear, d-n-d Move works as expected with source and destination on an EXT4 partition. Upstream seems to confirm that d-n-d Move on same partition is the desired behavior: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5508 ** Bug watch added: Xfce Bugzilla #5508 https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5508 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293754 Title: permission related error when moving files to internal NTFS formated drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunar/+bug/1293754/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
