Dragging and dropping files between non-persistent folders under /home/amnesia ⇒ Copy rather than Move by default
Noticed this first in Tails 4.6 I think, maybe 4.5.
I'm not sure if this is by design or not.
- Create a new folder in ~/Tor Browser, eg. ~/Tor Browser/testfolder
- Use
touch
in the console to create some test files in/Tor Browser, e.g. touch '/Tor Browser/test.txt' - Drag and drop this file onto the new folder (testfolder) in the file manager
Expected Behaviour:
The file will be moved into the new folder.
Actual Result:
The file is copied into the new folder. To perform a move the user must hold the Shift key whie dragging and dropping.
Other Comments:
This doesn't seem to be the case for new folders in the persistent storage folders, where files are moved rather than copied by default. Obviously this is particularly undesirable if the file being moved is large.
