--- Comment #9 from Werner Lehmann <[email protected]> ---
I am using Dolphin 26.04.3 with a folder panel. I switched view settings to
"Details" with expandable folders. Behavior has changed over my original report
but the "Open folders during drag operations" still does not affect the folder
panel:

With "Open folders during drag operations" = off:
1. Drag file over expandable folder in the folder panel: does not expand during
the drag.
2. Drag file over details view expandable folder: does not expand.

With "Open folders during drag operations" = on:
1. Same as above.
2. Now the drag target expands.

To summarize: the option works the same for the expandable folders in the
details view. On the folders panel, behaviour has changed some time since 2019:
drag targets never expand, regardless of the option. Previously they always
expanded during drag (the opposite). So I would still say: this option affects
only the details view even though standard drag behavior on the folder panel
has also changed in those 7 years.

My suggestion:
Either move the option from "View | General" to "View | Details" because it
affects only that (I think).
Or keep it under "View | General" and change folder panel drag-expand
accordingly.

The subtle intention is probably that any settings option under "View" is meant
to only affect any "file view", not any panel (like the folder panel). There
are also "Interface | Panels" options which deal with that. If that really is
the intention it escaped me back then. But that is for the PO to say. I am fine
with closing the ticket in any case.
