Speaking of Linux files, there's one feature I'd like to see in the GUI.
In Linux, when you drag a file to a folder and hover, you've got one option: drop it into that folder. Another OS I used would wait for a second, then 'open' that folder so that you could drop your file into a sub-directory ... or drill down further by hovering over another. I wish!
Old habits die hard. Maybe that can already be done, or there's an app or setting I've missed. If so, GREAT, I could quit mumbling every time.

- mouth 5y agoI know macOS opens the folder after hovering the icon over it for a second. I want to say BeOS did this, too, but it’s been a long time since I used it as my daily driver.
- james-redwood 5y agoThis is implemented in Nautilus, Dolphin, and Pantheon Files. Not sure what you are talking about.
