In Dolphin when you drag and drop a file or a folder, you will get a popup asking for what you want to do, if move, copy or do nothing. I think it would be nice to have an option in Dolphin preferences, to completely disable drag and drop. It may increase safety for some users in operating with data storages

Can you clarify what you mean by "completely disable drag and drop?" You mean trying to drag an item would not cause it to move at all?

Exactly

I don't think we can do that, sorry. :) Drag-and-drop is a core part of the user experience. The drag-and-drop menu is itself already a safety valve since it requires a second explicit action to complete the drop. So disabling drag-and-drop wouldn't really provide any additional safety over what we already have.

Powerful from time to time...

Older users for instance. I can already think of some.

But you'll need some so-called "UX experts" to vouch for this idea if you want it implemented :p
