Bug Description

When dragging items, sometimes items are inside the folders we want to reach, so hovering over them for a few seconds should open the folder, so that we may drag our folders to the desired destination. If we made a mistake, just drag them out of files and we'll be returned to the original directory of the files. This is useful for users who don't like using the terminal and can be faster than copy and paste.

What should be the hover time required over a folder to enter it? I have tried with 2 seconds, and it feels too much, 1 second is pretty neat for moving/copying files with drag and drop.
