Hello there,
I have always wondered why, in order to act upon a folder F, I must be viewing not F, but its *parent*.
Example: Suppose I have a nautilus window displaying folder /foo/bar. In order to delete "bar", I have to go to the *parent* folder (foo).
This seems illogical to me. And the problem is even more apparent with spatial nautilus: here, a window and a folder are strongly identified, so I should be able to act on a folder when I am viewing its window.
Proposed solution: add a checkbox, or a button, in each nautilus window. This checkbox allows you to select and deselect THE FOLDER ITSELF. Then you can act upon it the traditional way (with the edit menu, or by right-clicking).
I am not sure if this also allows to drag an open folder to another place.
