That's why I usually hold down the RIGHT mouse button while Copying or
Moving files. Nothing gets committed until I release the button, giving me
time to read the popup showing the actual destination. And, even after the
release, it lets me choose between Copy and Move (or Cancel), giving me a
last chance to verify the destination, too.


I do the same thing, RC. I do it for the commitment reason you
mention, but mainly because I find it hard to remember under what
condition drag-and-drop means "copy" and under what conditions it
means "move." With right-drag, I don't have to remember.
