    "Can you finally duplicate, delete or move files in application file browse windows? Please say yes - this is one thing that needs to happen like Windows."

    It won't happen and it shouldn't, because it would conflict with OSX Finder behaviour. In Windows, when moving a folder in application file browse window, you copy or move it. In OSX, it moves you to the folder, I find it much more useful.

    Try that: open a file browse window from an app, then move a folder from a regular Finder window into it — voilla, you're now browsing that folder. In Windows, you would have moved it.

    • Duplicate/delete could be fine (as recently introduced name editing is), but move/copy won't make sense.raf
    • people who are used to an OS tend to hate on the other OS.inteliboy
    • Yes yes yes. I LOVE the OS X "drag to navigate to" feature. Use it all the time. Most people don't know about it.nb
    • But, they could offer a right-click menu that allows for deleting.nb
