me too.  As 'extra features' go this one would be a real boost.  
Sometimes selecting
things by filename is very awkward; RE: the 'file selector isn't 
Nautilus' point, well,
yes, but OTOH if the file names aren't mnemonic enough or unambiguous 
enough,
the alternative is switching between Nautilus windows and the file 
selector a lot more.

I would hope there's some middle ground here for thumbnail views, etc.
