Description Jonas Meurer 2011-06-25 18:29:08 UTC
Version:           1.9.0 (using KDE 4.6.4) 
OS:                Linux

Currently it's rather complicated to copy image files from digikam to an open filemanager on non-kde (e.g. gnome) desktop. If I drag a image in digikam, and drop it into the filemanager (nautilus) 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open digikam in a non-kde desktop environment, drag an image in digikam, and drop it into a filemanager (or on the desktop).

Actual Results:  
The image file is moved from the original place to the new one.

Expected Results:  
Either the image should be copied, or another way to copy images from digikam to another place should be given.

Gnome must support open desktop standard to be able to play with other applications. D&D into digiKam use Qt4 api :

This work fine under Macosx and Windows. Why not Gnome...

It seems that others discovered the drag&drop issue with gnome as well:

Apparently the fix is easy: press <Ctrl> while dragging the image, and it will be copied instead of moved.
