I think this is a really important functionality.
No one can deny that she/he wanted to download a file, or open a file and wanted to manage files or folders within that dialog at the same time.
Workflow then slowed down, because there needed to be opened nautilus first, to do that...

Title:
  file chooser: cannot copy, cut, paste, drag&drop, rename, delete

Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit:
  Confirmed
Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  gtk2.0   2.12.0-1ubuntu1

  some really important features are missing in the gtk filechooser.
  These are the use case:

  Mr. X is saving/opening a file and this might happen:
  1) he needs to rename an existing file because he wants to save the new file with the same name, but does not want to loose the old file (SAVE ONLY)
  2) he sees a file, in the current view, that is no more needed, and he wants to delete it
  3) he sees a spelling mistake in a filename/dirname
  4) he wants to create a directory to save the new file, but he gives the wrong name to it, and wants to rename it (SAVE ONLY)
  5) he sees a file that is not in the correct directory
  6) he creates a new directory to rearrange the current dir, because he has lots of files that can be grouped

  now if this happesn, Mr X has to open nautilus to do all these things.
  This is in my opinion not acceptable.
