--- Comment #12 from Gregor Mi <codestr...@posteo.org> ---
To me, Nate's proposal is a smart advancement compared to my original wish.
Nowadays, I would not argue with making a clone of something else but having
the possibility to enable an option to work as effective as possible.
E.g. most of the file operations I normally do on the same partition are "Move"
and - to a much smaller extent - "Symlink". Between different partitions, it is
unclear, therefore I like Nate's idea to just keep showing the popup in this
case.

Two additions:

- I think David's concern is perfectly valid: unclear or random things should
not be done to files. Therefore, one possibility would be that the default
operation when dragging a file is indicated by an overlay icon (or even text:
"Move file(s)") at the mouse cursor that makes it clear what the drop operation
will do.

- The generalization of the above proposal would be a choice box:
  "Default file operation when dragging files between
   folders on the same partition:
   [ Show Popup (default) | Move | Copy | Symlink ]"
