Bug Description
(Sry - new guy - I hope, that I selected right package and write all important info.)
Thunar 1.2.3 (Xfce 4.8)
Xubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, fully updated
When I drag file from the desktop to any folder, I can use Control/Shift key and select between coping or pasting as expected.
But when I drag any file from any folder TO the desktop, small icon with "+" appears in right corner (that looks right) but file is moved, not copied. Using Control/Shift key changes small move/copy icon in the corner, but no change in real behaviour - file is moved everytime. And I am not able to copy it just with using drag & drop. Using Control & C and Control & V works as expected.
Hope it helps...

When dragging a file between the Desktop and a Thunar window the file is copied. When dragging a file between two Thunar windows or within the same Thunar window, the file is moved. Holding down shift allows a move to/from the desktop but does nothing for Thunar. I'd like to suggest that the Desktop follow the same convention Thunar does, or at least default to the same behavior.
In all cases the mouse cursor correctly indicates the operation that will be performed(arrow for move, plus for copy).
