changing views from miller column should use the location of the last column

[Danielle Foré]

I've run across a few times where I'm navigating with the column and I get to a folder and want to switch to grid view for the larger icon thumbnails. I click the modebutton and then I have to start over at my home folder :(

The problem might actually be, how the "current path" is being handled.
Possibly related to the same root cause (or at least part) of the issue might be the lack of a 'current_selection_path' variable to be used in many ways:

* updating the location bar to reflect the selected path:

* Rightclick Menu not working in anything but the leftmost column:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/marlin/+bug/809640

* open terminal here would also need this, but first of all it needs the context menu.

Notice: The bugs linked by me have all been resolved, but Daniels report-issue still standing.

One thing to ponder:

If you browse somewhere in column mode and switch to folder view -> that last folder should be opened.
BUT
What happens if you switch back to column view?
- Will / be the leftmost column? (resulting in a potentially very large amount of columns)
- Will $HOME be the leftmost column? (resulting in demand for a case for: i.e. /usr/local/bin - not everything is in $HOME)
- Will the opened folder be the leftmost column? (resulting in not being able to navigate backwards)
- Will the previous columns somehow be remembered and restored? (What if that path is no longer the valid one, due to navigation?)

We'll take this one I suppose, it is the less distrubing from my point of view...
