Sadly, I don't have time to give feedback on the complete proposal (which
I'm not too fond of) but... when you create a new folder, you should bring
up an additional dialog where you get to name the folder and cancel the new
folder operation if you want/need to.

With this behavior it's acceptable to retain the "Cancel" button since we
stick you in another mode to do the folder creation.
