Well, in that case, a "copy manager" won't disturb you :)
Any thought on the idea ?

Sure I know it, but I think the "vista bar" would be much more easy-to-use.
Now you have either to learn a shortcut, type it and then type the path (the
VERY good thing is the auto-completition thing).
My idea is to have something similar to the Ctrl+L shortcut in the location bar
where words would be clickable :)
Features like relative pathes and ~ are already supported which is very very
useful.

Thanks, you understand what I'm saying. Thanks for the screenshot also.
Moreover, I think we could make it better than Nautilus with a feature like that
:)
