| Spring-loaded folders | Allows you to go inside folders while holding a file you picked up for a copy/move operation previously. Activate this option, then drag a file over a folder and hold it for a while – the folder will open and continue to dig dipper into the folder’s hierarchy, until you decide to drop the file into its new place |
| Restore location after spring-loaded drag | After an operation with spring-loaded folders (see above) is over, this option allows you to return to the folder, where your dragging session began. |
| Smart Sort order | By default the Smart Sorting lists Applications first, then Packages, then Folders, then Files. You can change this behaviour by changing this order, or disabling any of the items. |
