           Summary: Dragging photos to Dolphin moves them without warning
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.2.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Albums GUI
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dkde at gardnersworld.org


Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

If I drag photos from Digikam to Dolphin, the photos are moved
instead of copied. If I then drag them back to Digikam, I have
to tag them all over again.

I often use Digikam to search for some photos that I want to
copy to a USB key or external drive, or to some other location
from which I can share them or upload them for printing. However,
when I select the images and drag them to Dolphin, they are moved
(i.e., deleted from the Digikam album) without warning and without
any offer to copy them instead (as Dolphin would do if I were
dragging between two Dolphin windows).

Whatever about the copy vs. move debate for operations within
Digikam (there are lots of issues open on that one), I think that
dragging to an external application/location should not move the
image files away from the Digikam albums. It is too easy to lose
images this way if I do not notice that the originals have been
deleted. If noticed, the images must be copied back (laboriously,
if they have come from different albums, having been selected from
a search result) and re-tagged.
