Very nice.

It's even nice to have a light blue bar on your folder, makes you feel
"special" :P.

I would prefer a context menu.
In my experience, people assume after some hours using a computer for
the first time that since right click always gives them extra options
and right click is almost everywhere they can go all around right
clicking and finding extra options.
It's not an obscure concept that users can't find :), in contrast to
the example proposed earlier about the location entry in the
filechooser (which was reachable only by a shortcut, I don't like the
solution however).

I can recall users who can't find the Font Preferences no matter
there's a Path "Preferences > Font" and they have months using GNOME.

And as a side note, I think that the gtk 2.8 filechooser was nicer for
some reasons described in:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390898 might be somewhat
relevant.
