Description Rune Andersen CLA 2012-11-22 07:31:15 EST 
I often need to copy files from several different folders on disk, to several different folders in my project view.

When i drag the first batch onto a folder and drop them there, Eclipse expands the target folder in the project view. Because my file list is long, the openede folder now covers the majority of the screen real estate. 

This forces me to eiter:
1) switch to Eclipse to close/collapse it again, or
2) scroll the view to find the other folders that I will be copying files to. 

It's a bit of a hazzle with all this switching back and forth, it's wasting a bit of time, and causing some annoyance. 

Wanted behaviour:
- Drop my files to a folder.
- Files are copied/link the way I choose.
- Target folder remains collapsed. 
- I can carry on copying files to other folders.
