Description aaron 2001-12-03 22:57:28 UTC 
Regular drag-and-drop of items in Evolution (correctly) causes a Copy from
one folder to another.  We should have a way of doing a Move however. 
Either Control-Drag or Shift-drag.

Things to consider: What does Nautilus do for this? Windows? Macos?

Setting milestone and keyword.
Comment 2 aaron 2003-04-07 17:14:29 UTC 
(Hm. I seem to think plain drag ought to move...)
Comment 3 Gerardo Marin 2004-02-05 16:46:31 UTC 
I'm not sure what HIG says about this, but yes, there are a lot of 
places that need D&D love (not even implemented).
CC'ing Tuomas so he can give a hint on this. Rescheduling to future, 
but I'd really love to see this somewhere in the 2.x milestones.
Comment 4 Bruce A. Mallett 2004-04-17 17:01:15 UTC 
I vote for this one too.  My expectation when dragging from one IMAP
folder to another was to have a MOVE and not a COPY.  When I tried
holding down the CNTRL key during the drag I get a full desktop lockup
with the cursor as a plus sign in 1/2 of a box (the upper left corner
only).
