Move and copy files in PL9

On Windows, moving a file on the same drive is by dragging; copying is by CTRL dragging.

On Windows, moving a file between drives is SHFT dragging; copying is by dragging.

PL9 on Windows seems to have changed something recently and it is still wrong and does not even match the documentation. Please make the behavior and the documentation match standard Windows behavior or make a setting for users to choose between PL and Windows behavior. I keep losing and/or misplacing photos!!!

Thank you for an otherwise GREAT app!!

On PC

  • Move images from one folder to another: select them in the Image Browser, then drag and drop onto the destination folder while holding the Shift key. [plain drag moves, which is good Windows behavior if on the same drive. problem is that plain drag between drives also moves, which is when Shift should be pressed]

  • Copy images from one folder to another: To copy an image from one folder to another: select it in Image Browser then drag and drop it into the destination folder. [CTRL drag copies if on the same drive, which is good Windows behavior. problem is that CTRL must be pressed if dragging between drives, not good]
