Spring loaded folders

[tryonk]

Lightroom Version Number

7.0

Operating System

1. macOS 14 Sonoma

I'm primarily a Lightroom Classic user, but I sync to Lightroom in the cloud for mobile editing (and because the video editing tools are much better). When dragging photos or albums to folders in the desktop app, I find that the spring-loaded folders are twitchy—if I pause for a half or quarter second over one, it pops open. Worse yet, they stay open and often force me to drag the item to the bottom or top of the list to find the folder I'm looking for. Even after I finish dragging, all those accidentally opened folders stay open, making an unholy mess of my carefully categorized folder tree. Most times this doesn't cause serious problems—I just have to close the offending folders—but it's annoying and makes organization take longer than it should. I really want to be able to drop albums into a folder without it opening—the point of this whole operation is to reduce clutter, not make it worse.

I've found documentation on how to change the sensitivity of Photoshop's spring loaded tools but nothing for Lightroom folders--is there a way to tweak this, or is it just an Adobe default that I'll have to learn to live with?

Thanks,

I'm just catching up on unanswered threads... no controls for that in LR, sorry.

No worries--I appreciate your reply. I can send it to Adobe as a feature request because I'm that kind of IT geek.
