Description
Mac OS as far back as 8/9 had this nice "warning" flash effect when you were about to commit to a spring. It lasted maybe 3/4 of a second; the icon and text would flash and then it would open the folder. This gave just enough time to decide to commit or change your mind. It was a really useful UI addition.
Here is the example in Mac OS 8:

Here is an example of it on semi-modern macOS:

It would be nice if Files in Elementary also featured this effect.
