I found a hack in the archives to impose a delay on the auto expand when over a parent node but was wondering if there is a 'preferred' or 'acceptable' method of changing the auto expand threshold.

If you're looking for a solution to the "Make those @%#$%! things stop springing open!" issue, I've gotten a few compliments and no complaints with this:

• During dragging, display a tooltip which says something like "To stop folders from springing open, hold down 'shift' key". • Detect shift key down in -draggingUpdated: and if so, remove the tooltip, and set a flag. • In -outlineView:shouldExpandItem:, if the flag is YES, inhibit expansion.
• A timer resets the flag after 250 milliseconds.

The reason for the timer, as I recall, is that there are several ways in which a drag operation could end, and the timer was the only way to cover all the corner cases.
