copying files by dragging

[Gareth Walker]

Thanks.  What I don't really understand is why one version of digiKam works
one way, and another version works another way, on the same system.  That
suggests to me that something has changed about digiKam between the two
versions (7.1.0 and 8.3.0), rather than this being down to the file
manager. But if anyone can suggest how I can get Thunar to copy the files
rather than move them when I drag them out of digiKam 8.3.0, or any other
solution, that would be much appreciated.
