--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
This kind of behavior is waaaaaay too specific to have a user-facing option
for. So we would either do it universally, or not at all.
So when you drop a file on top of another file, we could in theory move the
other file out of the way. However this opens a huge can of worms: what if the
other file can't move out of the way because it's surrounded by other files; do
all of them move too? What if this causes a row to overflow; should the entire
row move to another or, or should just the items at the end move to another
row? What if that row is full as well?
The possibilities here are quite endless. And even if we managed to account for
all of them, is this really a behavior that makes sense? I don't think so. If I
drop a file on another file and the rest of my whole layout can shift around as
a result of it, that could be unexpected and quite disruptive. If I've arranged
my files and folders just where I wanted them, now I have a mess to clean up.
I don't think we can do this, sorry.
