Since I could not find anything about it in the forum or in preferences:
If I add new files to a folder, I want the new file to be selected, once I drop it.
In my case I am adding pictures in folders that already have many files in them. I drag them from the browser into the folder. Once I have dropped them, I want to rename them. At the moment I have to know the file name, and search/look for it.
In the normal windows explorer, such a new file is selected once I have dropped it.
Keep newly added files selected

The files are not selected, but they are at the bottom, so you can select them easily.Add new items at the end of the list
If this setting is checked, new items are added at the bottom of the list instead of being sorted immediately.
Re: Keep newly added files selected
Thank you, that works! I also used a workaround now, by sorting by the date of creation.
Re: Keep newly added files selected
Another way to go to new file is the option "Focus newest file" Ctrl+End, it's possible to create a toolbar button too.
Re: Keep newly added files selected
Thanks, that is the best solution!

I use a button which starts a batch file.
This batch positions the cursor in the current FC window onto the newest entry
regardless of the current sort order.
The batch file NewestFile.cmd looks like this
