Public bug reported: When I move a document to a folder on the same disk, by default I move the folder/file, what I expect is that it asks me if: copy, move or create a connection, as does the Dolphin file manager. Many times it happens that I have to copy files/folders and I find myself moving these files, is not very friendly as a user experience.
I attach a screenshot to show what the Dolphin file manager does, and what I expect Nautilus to do.
