Great, if you encounter any problems don't hesitate to ask on the list.

The cancel isn't needed. (You could click next to the menu or press escape)

Apart from that, the style guide covers drag & drop behaviour. The default is 
to show a menu (with Move/Copy in this case). If you press ctrl during the 
drag it copies without showing a menu. If you press shift it moves without 
showing a menu.

Cheers,
Waldo
