Bug Reports / Re: drag & drop bug (?): moving files instead of copying

« on: August 22, 2022, 06:14:25 PM »

Here's a visual explaining what I mean...
I keep MusicBee in a smaller window, I made a quick movement to drag the window and dragged the music track to the desktop by mistake. Now it has moved from it's original place on my hard drive, so I have to dig through the file explorer and re-place it into its correct spot.
I realize the scenario is kind of dumb, but it has happened more than once and I think the option to lock the ability to drag & drop files from MusicBee to elsewhere in the file system (rather than switch copy/move functionality as I previously suggested) is a reasonable request.

Have you tried dragging while holding down the CONTROL key? As stated a couple of times in this thread.

That's not my problem, I'm not trying to move or copy the file. It's very easy to accidentally drag and drop a track from MusicBee to, say, the desktop (as I described in my original post.)
The purpose in being able to switch the copy and move functions for drag & drop is to avoid moving a file out of place in the file system without meaning to.
Actually, now that I think about it an option to simply lock or disallow drag & drop from MusicBee to outside the application would also accomplish this.

Going to have to necro this thread, I've searched for similar topics but none are active.
Default behavior in Windows File Explorer is irrelevant, dragging a track from MusicBee to my desktop should NOT move the original file from wherever it's located to the desktop.
I have used foobar2000 for years and recently switched to MusicBee. The default behavior in that application is to copy when a track is dragged elsewhere. On numerous occasions I have accidentally fat-fingered a file onto my desktop from foobar2000 but I have never thought about it since I knew it had merely copied the file. The same just happened to me in MusicBee and I was scratching my head wondering where the track went. I deleted the file from my desktop without a thought as I expected it to be a copy. Very glad I keep backups.
Even if this continues to be default behavior, please give me an option to switch the move and copy drag & drop functions!
