Can't copy via drag and drop
Looking at the help...
https://help.gnome.org/users/gthumb/stable/gthumb-file-copy-move.html.en
... it seems I should be able to copy an image from one folder to another.
To copy a file to another folder, simply drag the file (with a sustained left-mouse click) to the destination folder visible in the folder tree. To move a file, hold down the Shift key while dragging.
You can also use the middle mouse button to drag files. In this case, gThumb will ask you if you wish to copy the files, move the files, or cancel the operation.
But if I drag a file from one folder to another it is moved instead of copied.
If I use the middle button to drag the file, I get a dialogue box, Do you want to move "<image>" to "<folder>"?
with the options Cancel
or Move
.
If I use the Alt key modifier when dragging, I get a menu, with Copy Here
, Move Here
, and Link Here
, and Cancel
but only the move and cancel options are selectable.
The Shift and Ctrl modifiers don't appear to have any effect.
Is it possible to copy rather than move an image from one folder to another?
Seeing the same behaviour with Ubuntu 20.04's package of gthumb 3.8.0 and a local build of latest from the git repo.
