Dealing with files in dolphin by drag and drop is quiet nice but there is room for improvement.
Especially useful for file moving with the folder hierarchy in ONE dolphin window only:

(1) A goody to restore for dolphin (an old idea):
In konqueror in former times you could take a file, move with it over a folder, the folder opens..., then you go over a folder within, it opens same way, ... at the place you wanted to go you drop your file,that was ist ...
BUT(!) then you returned to your starting point folder! (Where you wanted e.g. to clean a little)
In current dolphin you can go down the folder hierarchy but you will stay at the dropping level within the hierarchy and have to go actively back by clicking the back symbol the needed times, (nasty :-().

(2) A suggestion for dolphin:
Now you can go the described way(1) to deeper levels within in the folder hierarchy but I miss a functional icon within the file icon area
similar to the ".." symbol in the midnight commander with the help of which I can move a file to a higher folder level, simply by moving the file-icon over it and waiting a subsecond, similar to the folder-hierarchy-go-down-way.
With such an go-up-icon it would be possible to reach every level within the entire folder hierarchy IN ONE WINDOW by ONLY DRAGGING the file-icon, without the need two windows or clip-boarding etc.

Your ideas are good, but You have to brake them to two ideas. As we have one solution per post (idea) policy.
So just post (1) as one idea and (2) as second idea and I'll approve them.
