Re: [PATCH] Allow to use move/copy/link operations on open folder (was: Re: [Usability] Interacting with open folders)

[Vincent Noel <vincent noel gmail com>]

This is really, really cool, and would solve one of spatial nautilus's
major gripes : in spatial mode, the window is supposed to be the
folder, however there's no way to interact with this particular
folder.
This would solve bug #40218 and bug #129421.

If right-clicking on this button could display the folder's context
menu, it would solve in addition bug #126561 and bug #145400.
