Spinner Longpress #87

How do you feel about having a "Go to folder..." dialog when the spinner is long-pressed?

As long as the resulting dialog isn't clumsy, I'm not wholly opposed to it. It doesn't create much extra complexity for regular use, since most people will never realize that it's there.

On the other hand, wouldn't it be easier to just manually navigate to a folder using the main window? The only way to specify a directory string is to type it (which is horribly clumsy even with intelligent autocompletion) or paste it in (and where would that even come from?). I think such functionality would make more sense if the user only had one window to work with, but BB has two windows which makes quick navigation between two directories in a single window unnecessary.
