Miller-Column-View lacking rightclick menu on files and empty spaces.

[Timo Reimerdes]

When using the Miller Column View in marlin, there is no way to create a new file or perform the expected right-click funktionality on a file because no rightclick-menu is provided on files and empty spaces on the view.

Oops - forgot to mention that this is on oneiric + elementary-dev ppa and in a pantheon session.

Actually I just found out, that there is a rightclick menu on files in $HOME - but not on files or folders in submenus or on the empty space.

The menu isnt only showing in $HOME but work always in the leftmost column.

To test this with something else but $Home, use the bookmarks system.

Workaround:

When double-clicking a subdirectory in the column-view, this makes that subdirectory the leftmost column ("opens it in the marlin window"). After that the files directly in this column can be interacted with by using the rightclick menu.

Reproduce:
open terminal
touch test_806377.txt
open marlin
use the device "filesystem" -> home -> 'yourusername' -> try to rightclick the file (you will have nothing at all happen)
now leftclick ONCE on the directory 'yourusername' to un-select the file, thus closing the preview pane
now doubleclick the directory 'yourusername' to make this the start column
reightclick the file and you get the menu and can select the open with or any other option.

I think it's only implemented on the first column ATM.
