GREAT! This makes Nautilus really spatial. And it simply works!! Thanks.

Just 2 notes:
      * Could you add a tooltip to location button? Something like
        "Click to open parent folders, drag to move/copy/link this
        folder"
      * It is a new feature, isn't it? Do you have to ask to release
        team fr approval?
