Original description:
Although this was spec'd for #372 (closed), I've opened a separate ticket to handle this feature.
The largest problem with a DnD move is that Shotwell currently doesn't handle all file types. If a directory is offered in a DnD move, Shotwell will recurse that directory looking for all JPEG files. It skips files of unknown types. (We will later support other image types.)
Deleting the files in a move is not the responsibility of the destination but of the source (i.e. Nautilus). This means that files will be deleted by the source that were not properly moved into Shotwell.
Another issue is that the file deletion for a move is signalled when the drag operation is completed with drag_finish; currently this means postponing the signal until the files are completely imported. There may be an interim step we can perform (such as raw file copies) to complete the drop, then import in the background.
