I would absolutely miss this feature.

One of my use cases for it is as follows. I have a large collection of 
images. When I want to make a slideshow or some other presentation, I go 
through my images, and when I find an image that I want to use, I copy 
it to a working folder. Doing this with copy-and-past would be a lot of 
work because I'll always have to go back and forth to the destination 
and search folder. With the copy dialog, I can stay in my search folder 
and the destination folder is pre-selected in the copy dialog. Very easy.

I could use catalogs for this purpose, but I often want to make changes 
to the images that go into my presentation, while I want to keep the 
original intact. Catalogs are only present in gthumb, and I do most of 
my modifications outside gthumb (gimp). So that's why I make copies to a 
working folder.
