Recommendation: allow a user to choose if a file is copied or moved by default during drag and drop operations.
Discussion:
It appears that the default behaviour, at least on my macOS system, is to copy a file when dragging and dropping it. The default behaviour on most file systems and image browsers is to move a file when it's on the same filesystem and copy it when it's on a different file system. The default behaviour seems to violate this convention and makes certain operations, such as sorting images, difficult without the use of a modifier key.
Thoughts?
