Agreed (also rename, duplicate and symlink). This is what I have in
mind, considering that multiple application registration will be
possible:

[directories popup]

refresh
show hidden
--
open in xffm
open in terminal
open with ->
   Choose application
   open with registered 1
   open with registered 2
   ...
   open with registered n
--
cut
copy
paste
collect trash
--
remove
duplicate
rename
symlink
touch
new
scramble/unscramble
Attributes ->
   register
   diskusage
   sort ascending
   subsort by filetype
   sort by name
   sort by date
   sort by size
   sort by owner
   sort by group   
   zoom in
   zoom out
Find
properties

[the sort method, and icon size should be save from session to session]
[file popup slightly different:]

full preview [only for images or textfiles]
refresh
show hidden
--
open in xffm
open in terminal
open with ->
   Choose application
   open with registered 1
   open with registered 2
   ...
   open with registered n
--
cut
copy
--
remove
duplicate
rename
symlink
touch
new
print
scramble/unscramble
Attributes ->
   register
   diskusage
   sort ascending
   subsort by filetype
   sort by name
   sort by date
   sort by size
   sort by owner
   sort by group   
   zoom in
   zoom out
Find
properties

[popup for multiple selections:]

Cut
copy
remove
scramble/unscramble
touch

Gotcha. Wow, that was quite a hidden bug. I'll take care of it.

You caught me not using the toolbars! Keyboard shortcuts make life
easier. Although I still don't know how to expand directories with the
return key. And ideas appreciated.
