GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 128326
dragging file from smb share to Desktop moves instead of copying
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
When I drag and drop a file from a local folder to a samba share nautilus make a copy of it in the share as I expect. But when I drag a file from a smb share located in my network and drop it on a local folder nautilus move it, not make a copy... In RedHat 9.0 this problem is not present. I call it a problem because I expect a move operation on local folders and a copy operation on a network-shared folder. I can prevent this issue by pressing CTRL key during the operation.
Thanks for your bug report. Are you dragging to the desktop or another local folder?
This happens only when I drop files on the desktop
Is this a dup of bug 114617? Reopening.
Does this still occur for you in gnome-2.6?
Current Configuration: Fedora Core 2 with Gnome 2.6 I made a test and Nautilus behaves now as it should. It makes a copy if I drag the file on the Desktop or I drag it to a local folder and viceversa. Thanks for your great work:)
