Open folder with "hover over"
A nice feature that might help move files faster.

Re: Open folder with "hover over"
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.

Re: Open folder with "hover over"
the advantage is that you can drag to subfolders as well

Re: Open folder with "hover over"
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.
Re: Open folder with "hover over"
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 is not meant for the tree And ofc it won't work for a locked normal / mini tree.
