Auto-expanding folders are cumbersome when filled with lots of items #544

Closed wmcclin closed 1 year ago

wmcclin commented 1 year ago

I have a folder that contains lots of sketches, collections and folders that were developed throughout the week. When dragging/dropping items into this folder in attempt to clean up my Sketching Tools tab, I found it problematic to have folders auto-expand. Every time, I had to scroll back up and collapse the folder so that I could return to my task of cleaning up items outside the folder.

If possible, it would be nice to have folders auto-expand only if I drag an item on top and pause. Otherwise, I'd like the folder to remain closed after dropping in an item.

I like the idea of expanding on a pause but it's just too hard to choreograph. For now I just disabled expansion on drop and added a little animation that highlights where you dropped the item.
