Drag & Drop into Collapsed Node 🤯

Actions

Explain the problem as you see it

like DRAG & DROP INTO FOLDERS in File Explorer / Finder.

Currently, we have 2 choices to drop around a collapsed node: above or below.

We could have a third option to drop a node onto a node, and insodoing the node becomes child to that node.

Kind of like when we drop images onto new nodes:

Work with the patterns the mind has learned

When I drag and drop my files (or another folder) onto a folder in Finder on my Mac, they drop in.
Same in Apple Notes, or 99% of software I've ever used.

When I drop a node onto a collapsed node, Tana treats it like I am dragging and dropping onto a file, and puts the node next to it.

Logical, as nodes are files; but not exclusively: Nodes are both files and folders. They display and contain. I believe Tana may forget that in the instance of organisation, collapsed nodes are folders too.

This tiny change will release a huge upgrade in my ability to not only create effectively but also organise efficiently. Maybe someone else feels the same?

Suggest a solution

P.S. Doesn't need to be limited to collapsed nodes
