Bug Description
Hi,
I believe this is a nautilus-related request.
It would be a real time saver if one could rename or delete files/folders from within the open/save file dialogs.
Some typical situations where this is very useful:
* you want to change the name of a folder in which you want to save the file. Possibly because have just created this folder from the very same dialog and made a typo in the name;
* you want to cleanup the destination folder from obsolete files before saving;
* you want to keep a backup of an existing file in the same folder, by renaming it before saving the new file.
Windows offers this feature for as far as I can remember. It is not to try replicate behaviour, but it is a really nice feature, which does not impact the GUI look:
* 2 extra entries in the contextual menu
* 2-3 key bindings (F2, Delete, and Shift Delete)
which already exist in plain Nautilus.
Thank you.
Bests,
Renaud
