[Thunar-dev] Location Bar ala Firefox

[Xiong Jiang]

>From programming point of view, it's not neat because no in-stock
widget is available for this specific purpose. However think about the
action when you want to click it and copy/paste the path, this way it
will maintain the same mouse movement as the location input box today.
Eg. you click on the area that shows the directory names, and the full
path is highlighted. No extra mouse movement. No need to look for a
button or menu item to enable the location bar first.

Also toolbar may not be enabled all the time. and we all want the UI
to be neat with less gadgets. Command line lovers, please vote for me.
:)

Another thing is: clicking one path button will show the content in
that directory in the icon view immediately. Is there a button or some
way to go back to the last view quickly? Many times we just peek the
connect of a parent directory but still want to stay in the current
directory.
