I'll propose this alternative when we'll have the Preference system.

Good idea (on right click)

Unfortunatelly, there is no standard way to put file in the trash in

for Windows OS but probably no under GNU/Linux oses.

Why not.

You're right, Windows is case insensitive... I'll add an option.

The path bar is just used to enter a path and to show available 
sub-directories.
