As of writing, there is no submenu support for Nautilus extensions,
which is covered by bug 314579 [1]. As soon as we have them, we could
use the libfolder-menu [2] code I put together some time ago, and
dynamically load a list of subfolders.

Now it is in CVS, if I understand the bug report correctly. ;-)

However, it still seems like extensions aren't able to do this correctly, only add pretty unpractical submenus, am I right? For my wanted behaviour, it would need to be able to pop up this menu on hovering over the folder (with or without dragged item, preferably).

And no, I still don't need any opened folders on the way, just menus, which avoids the spring-folder stuff while still getting the easy access benefit.

Possible?
