Public bug reported:
PROBLEM
The right-click context menu in Ubuntu's "file -> open" and "save" menus
does not contain a rename option.
HOW TO REPRODUCE
1. Choose "file -> open" or "save" from the menu of any app that has such
options.
2. Right click on a file or folder in the resulting dialog.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
Users will be able to reorganize files and folders on the fly, in the
same dialog that caused them to realize they need to, without needing to
launch a separate instance of Nautilus.
EXAMPLE USECASE #1
Jane clicks on "Create Folder" in the "Save As ... " menu, to create a
folder to put her file. She either a) spells the folder's name wrong, b)
creates a blank folder, or c) did not mean to click on that button to
begin with. She right-clicks the new folder so as to rename it, the way
she can on Windows, but is frustrated to find that there is no option to
do so. Jane has to launch a separate instance of Nautilus, if she knows
how to do so in Unity.
EXAMPLE USECASE #2
While trying to find a file with an app's "File -> open" dialog (or
trying to find someplace to save a file), John realizes he needs to
clean up and reorganize things a bit. He stops as soon as he tries to
right-click and rename something, realizing that he cannot.
