Project Explorer folders should not auto expand when something is dropped in them

Status: New

As discussed initially in this thread, I'd suggest that folders in the Project Explorer do not automatically expand to reveal their content when dropping an object in them. It could be a possible behavior, but not the default one, which is VERY annoying. A possible behavior would be that of the Windows Explorer (PC) or Finder (Mac) folders:

- drag and drop an object: it will disappear in the folder

- drag and hold the object over the folder for 1-2 s and the folder will open up. You may or may not drop the object in it. If you don't and move on to another folder or location, the folder should revert to its initial state (closed in this example).

 

Check the thread I refered to above for graphic details (if I may say).

Thanks.
