File open, save dialogs don't let you rename

[Feathertail]

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.
