I think that opening the menu using right click is a waste of good option, because if we´d want to use that to have super-easy-file-management, it´s not the helpful.
That´s what I mean: Let´s say you´re dragging a file and want to move it somewhere. You can drag it to one of the folders at the path, but it´s not that easy to use right click while you´re holding the left one. That´s why I think we should use a 2 seconds timer, or so, to open a menu that navigates from that location. Actually, even if the user didn´t meant to open the menu, it shouldn´t distract him as it opens below the button. Yo´av.
