What about this alternate behaviour: parent windows save the first are
closed as soon as a new one is open while the drag continues
(basically the drag-over open would correspond to a left-doubleclick
for the first drilldown, and to a middle-doubleclick for the others).
Thus you'd end up with two windows again: the one you started the
drilldown from and the final target. All intermediate windows are
closed along the way,
Please, no. :-) The biggest annoyance about spring-loaded folders as
they are implemented in Mac OS, is that if you accidentally drag to a
point outside the areas covered by the windows of successive subfolders
{X1, X2, ..., Xn}, all those windows close themselves and you have to
start again from X0. Your alternate behavior would mean having to start
again from X0 if you made *any mistake at all* -- accidentally dragging
outside any window, or accidentally hovering for too long over any
folder. That would be very frustrating.
