Re: Spatial nautilus - fantastic - but what about the rest?

[lamikr <lamikr cc jyu fi>]

I have two other things in my mind which are harmful in the Nautilus 
(and thing number 1 is even very dangerous)

1) I think that the way how Nautilus handles directory copy is wrong in 
the situations where target directory already exist. Lets
imagine the following scenario: I have following java projects with sources

   /prj1/src/com/file1.java
   /prj2/src/com/file2.java

If user wants now compine the source codes from these projects into one 
project he would normally do following
- go to directory prj2
- select src and press ctrl-x
- go to directory prj1
- press ctrl-v

and expect that after that the directory /prj1/src/com would contain 
files file1.java and file2.java.
Unfortunately nautilus will instead destroy the original /prj1/src 
directory and thus also destroy the file1.java.
What makes things even more dangerous is that Nautilus does not even put 
the original one into trash can.
This feature has bitten me once and after that I have always started to 
use shell for every copy/move operation.

I think this behaviour should be fixed.

2) Creation of new folder and files.

When user creates new file or file I think that the name should always 
be directly renameable because it is very random that
the user wants the name of the directory be "New Folder" or "New 
Directory". Now user is always required to first click
the mouse and select "rename" which makes the slowes pretty.
