Moving a sheet via Drag and Drop should not change folder

Seconded! Moving to the target folder on drop feels un-macOS-sidebar-y. It feels more main-window-of-Finder-y.
e.g. Drop a tab into a different Safari Tab Group in the sidebar, or a file onto a sidebar item in Finder. It moves the source _thing_ but doesn’t navigate.
But!
In Finder, if you hit Space
while “threatening” to drop a file in the sidebar, it will then immediately navigate you there. (Technically also happens in the non-sidebar bit of Finder. But there if you just hold a file over a folder for a moment it will open that folder after some delay.) This, to me, feels like the “correct” behaviour for Soulver’s left sidebar too.As a consequence, this behaviour change would probably mean if you move the currently open sheet to a different folder, then the currently open sheet would change. To me, this feels fine—especially because it will almost certainly be a bigger visual change than the left sidebar changing to a different folder. (i.e. More immediately obvious what has happened.)
Seeing the moved sheet disappear from the left sidebar is also nice visual confirmation that the move was successful. Bonus points if the destination folder’s icon does a li’l scale animation as it swallows the sheet 😋
