Just tested with Karmic's ark (package manager) and nautilus and dolphin.
Somehow they are able to do both copy and move to both nautilus and dolphin.

Also, you can drag or ctrl-drag files from dolphin to nautilus and viceversa
and it just works fine. Copy or move, depending on "Ctrl" state. They both
likely follow the freedesktop specs so maybe that's  

By default ARK copies - I think it would be great if digikam would also "copy
by default" instead of moving. By moving by default, you may inadvertently lose
pictures, it happened to me a few times while Viewing an album and trying to
copy pics to a "For Print" folder.


When you press shift then drag from ark, then it moves instead of copy. The
icon changes (by default it draws a little "+", and when you shift-click it the
arrow pointer changes to black and there is no "+". 


I think Ctrl-drag would be more intuitive for moving though, than shift-drag.
"Ctrl" is what dolphin/nautilus use to select move or copy.

Thanks
