Bug Description

As I see, currently the only way to restore file is to use built-in file browser. It's nice, but for me personally, it could be more useful to have a file history view which I can open from nautilus/nemo and where I can see list of versions for given file.

Why?
1) It's easier to run over history: the dropdown with dates in my case is longer than my screen - try to find here something.
2) It's easier to get to this file, when I'm into a folder and recognize that "ups, I lose something important here!".

I'm thinking about window like Previous Version from Windows (e.g. https://its.uiowa.edu/sites/its.uiowa.edu/files/styles/large/public/wysiwyg_uploads/image002.jpg?itok=UipWkH0K )

In addition, (my wish for an ideal backup tool) it would be nice to have an option to have a preview / restore to tmp for any version (in case when I'm looking for the right version).
