keep focus in source folder when dragging and dropping to another folder (455 bytes, patch)

Description Andreas Moog 2008-09-08 15:50:56 UTC 
When I'm moving Items in alacarte from one folder to another, the focus changes to the destination folder. I feel that it should remain focused on the source folder so I don't have to keep navigating back when moving a lot of items. If you think about it, 100% of all move behavior on any operating system works this way by default; it doesn't open up the target folder you just dropped onto. I don't see any reason why alacarte should be any different.

I can confirm this on Alacarte 0.12.4 on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Alpha 1.

What's worse, the item is copied instead of moved, and since the focus is changed to the destination folder, it is not obvious that a copy of the item remains in the source folder.
