> The idea started with the folder in tree view, actually admitting I
don't get it, or is it untrivial to just allow a complete context menu
independent from where you click and leave it up to the user which
action to select?
The actions depend of the context, "create a new directory" doesn't
apply if a file is selected for example...
> Is too much context confusing the user?
Well, all actions don't apply to all context, and listing all possibles
actions all the time would give a busy and confusing menu to use
> At current state one actually needs to tell a user "click *exactly* on
the file name, only then you'll get access to the appropriate context
menu". When there is a very short file name for example 'fo' or '1' one
needs to have good target skills.
No, it doesn't, you can click on the icon or any part of the filename or
on the text of other columns, if you aim for the icon you should hit
either the icon or the filename and that should be easy enough to do?
