That would be a lot more work. When the actual drop happens, the action is coded to always do the copy action (really an "Add to calibre"). This is a design decision and doing it as a move would be a change in basic behaviour. I know Kovid would be against this. And while I can understand people wanting the source file to be removed, I tend to agree with Kovid on this.
