Dragging onto XYPlorer defaults to copy?

Post by Annorax »

When you drag something to XYPlorer, say from desktop to the program, the default action is "Copy", even when the drive is the same. This is inconsistant with the way regular Explorer works, as default is "Move" if it's on the same drive.

Is there an option to have "Move" be default if moving on the same drive, or is there a trick to fix this besides holding Shift every time I want to move stuff?

Yes, everything you say here is correct. I plan to adjust this, but it's not that easy for reasons too boring to explain here...

There is neither an option nor a trick, but I might add the former... :wink:

Actually I have chosen "Copy" as default because I often drag images from web sites (IE) into XYplorer (works nice! ever tried it?) and this needs "copy" to work.
