Public bug reported:

Hi,

I believe this is a nautilus-related request.

It would be a real time saver if one could rename or delete files/folders from 
within the open/save file dialogs.
Some typical situations where this is very useful:

  *  you want to change the name of a folder in which you want to save the 
file. Possibly because have just created this folder from the very same dialog 
and made a typo in the name;
  * you want to cleanup the destination folder from obsolete files before 
saving;
  * you want to keep a backup of an existing file in the same folder, by 
renaming it before saving the new file.

Windows offers this feature for as far as I can remember. It is not to
try replicate behaviour, but it is a really nice feature, which does not
impact the GUI look:

  * 2 extra entries in the contextual menu 
  * 2-3 key bindings (F2, Delete, and Shift Delete)

which already exist in plain Nautilus.

Thank you.

Bests,
Renaud
