File Manager General Improvements [Accepted]

[shabzone]

Hi Team,

I think File Manager can use some improvements. I have a simple use case of moving my photos to my nas and going through them to organize the pictures, but it was more difficult than expected.

1. I would like to be able to open multiple file manager windows (not just tabs) so I can easily drag files/folders from one window to another
2. I would like the file manager to be more responsive, no lag on file manager for drag select, copy paste, etc. It is very scary when moving pictures and then file manager freezes
3. I would like some easy solution to restore deleted files. Currently only shared folders can have recycling bins. I would like it enabled for non-shared folders
4. Shift and control modifiers to select multiple items is buggy. Sometimes it doesn't work anymore and I have to restart file manager.

Thanks

Improvement: I would like to copy the path name (with a right click or with an icon) so that I can paste the path to a terminal window.
