nookFileManager: feature request

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently, if you want to copy more than one file, you have to do the 
whole process (searching the file, select "copy", go to the target 
directory, select "paste") for every single file. If you want to retain a 
directory structure, you can't use "copy to my downloads".

There's a lot of potential, to make this more comfortable. What do you 
think about this approach?

- By pressing "copy" the selected file is added to a "to-do list". It's 
possible to add as many files as you like to the to-do list.

- By pressing "paste" this to-do list will be displayed containing all 
added files and two additional entries (as the first items):
  -> paste all
  -> clear list

- By selecting "paste all" all files in the to-do list will be pasted in 
the current folder

- By selecting a single file, only this file will be pasted in the current 
directory. The to-do list should stay opened (as long as other files are 
listed), to paste one of other files. Pasted files will be removed from 
the listing.

- It should be possible, to remove single files without pasting them.

- Closing the to-do won't clear the list, as you may want to paste them in 
a different folder.

That's a nice idea. I'll try to incluide this change in the next build.
btw, you can copy whole directories by longpressing on the folder.

And perhaps another nice feature:

On network shares there's the option "copy to my downloads". This is generally 
a 
good idea. But it would be a bit more versatile, if the target directory could 
be 
choosen.

I think, in the folder menu (longpressing on the folder) there could be an 
option 
"set as target folder" and from now on (until I exit the app) this directory 
will be 
used as target when I press "copy to my downloads" (renamed to "copy to 
fiction", of 
course, when the folder "fiction" on the external SC-card was choosen as 
target).

I added these changes, but didn't test it a lot. I'll probably test it next 
week and 
do a build ~28th or so. If you like to give it a try before that, use the 
attached 
package. If you see any issues, just add a comment to this issue.

Thanks.

Thank you, Hari! Good job! It's such a great tool now. Thank you so much...

I've tested it thoroughly and there's only one minor bug:

If I cut multiple files (instead of selecting "copy") to the "to-do list", only 
the 
first "cutted" file will be erased from the source folder. All other files are 
only 
copied to the target folder and therefore remain in the source folder.

Thanks for testing. I added the fix and will upload the apk file in downloads 
section.
