Too close to doze - nautilus - no prompt for files that exist already

[Jim Cornette]

Great counterpoint. I think that some sort of actual path along with the 
destination directory only display would be useful to help make both 
preferences of uses able to get the results that they desire.

Comparing W2k to XP. XP does have an absolute bar on the top and the 
favorites on the left and the actual files listing on the right.

W2k on the other hand has the similar distraction of too brief of 
information for the user. This is closer to the model that I see with 
the current scheme selected.

Watever the developers choose is the product that we'll get. It would be 
decent to customize the behavior to personal tastes.
