That is a good option with Nautilus that does not do an open, which is
good. But most of the other pgms I use either do not have that option
or may take several clicks to go through. I end up trying to use the
"instant" drag/drop workaround a lot. It works about 75% of the time;
25% of the time it was a tiny bit too long and it tries to open. Is
there any way to increase how long before Nautilus tries to open? If
increased, that could make this a useful option.

Again, thanks for your suggestions!!
