This had been bugging me in OS X 10.2.x and the fix is so easy.
Jaguar introduced spring-loaded folders.
The feature worked well with one catch…it seemed unpredictable as to exactly how the windows would open. Some would pop in icon view, others in list view, maybe a few in column view. I prefer to only work in column view, so this was annoying.
Today I found the answer, thanks to Mac OS X Hints. Simple command-click on the folder you want to pop and set it in the format you’ll want (column, list or icon). From now on, when you drag on to that folder it will pop as you set it. I’ve done this for my root level drive, my home directory and my applications folder. Groovy.
