Default File Actions

Post by push2flush »

I just discovered that Xplorer2's default file action for dragging and dropping across drives is moving the file instead of the windows default of copying. Is there a way to set Xplorer2 to use all windows default file actions?

x2 does the same that Windows Explorer does... it moves when dragging to a folder on the same drive and copies when dragging to a folder on another drive

You are correct - it does copy by default as Windows as I've just discovered. However, it didn't earlier when I posted this - and I repeated the action several times to be certain I wasn't doing something odd. I' not sure why the action now is different than earlier when I tried it earlier, but it seems fine now.
