Yes, there are several mechanisms for copying rather than moving but
none is quite so handy as the simple drag and drop which is always
going to be the first thing one tries.

Given that the default for drag and drop everywhere else seems to be
copy why does Digikam move?  (Actually Thunar simply asks whether you
want to move or copy)
