Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
Hi!
I've started using nautilus's non-spatial mode, after a long time using spatial. I guess it really is more useful, but there's a feature I miss from spatial and that's the way the folder button on the lower left corner of the window behaved. This is the button I mean, in case you're not following me:
http://
It lets you drag it to move or copy the folder, or even delete it if you move it to the trash and that is extremely handy.
I'd like non-spatial mode's address buttons behave that way. Those are the buttons I mean:
http://
proposed behavior:
-dragging the button moves the folder, if it has a custom icon a thumbnail appears.
-holding the shift key copies the folder instead of moving it.
-dragging to the trash erases the folder. nautilus shows the parent folder then (the window closes in spatial mode).
-dragging to a different location makes the address bar buttons change automatically to match the new location.
-hitting the right button summons a menu just like spatial's: copy, cut, send to trash...
-the same actions can be performed on higher or lower level folders, it only depends on what address button you press.
I really think those changes would be for the best, so please take some time to consider them.

Thanks for your report. I reject the report, because the changes you propose are not describing a faulty behaviour but you'd like to introduce new features or new behaviour. I think it'd make more sense to write this up nicely (your report is a really good start) and write to the upstream nautilus list, as this will require more discussion than can happen in a bug report. Thanks for your efforts.
