Why should the folder be opened ?
Currently if you drag a file it shows Move or Copy with the target folder name under the mouse.
No need to open that folder.

the advantage is that you can drag to subfolders as well

yes! this would be a killer feature in XY. if it's there already, i must not have it enabled. maybe it can be called "Pop Folder" or "Folder Pop" or something.

While the feature looks interesting, there is a huge flaw - if user accidentally hovers over wrong (sub)folder(which is easy when there are a lot around), there would be no way to get back. So user will have to drop items in wrong location and "the old way" use cut>get back>get in proper place to paste.

Pressing Escape key will cancel the drag and drop process

This already works in the folder tree since v3.02.0017 - 2000-02-11 12:00.

This is not meant for the tree
And ofc it won't work for a locked normal / mini tree.

you know, tree is the way you go to drop items. no need to hold mouse down and scroll up between files to reach folders on top
