Not fitting into the viewer toolbar discussion, but I had an idea how to re-structure the content lister toolbar to allow for more functionality. To handle renaming, moving, copying, tagging of files etc. we basically only need two icons: one for selecting one or more files and one for the action we want to apply on these files. I thought of a context menu popping up to choose the desired action.
One more remark on copying and moving files: What if we represent this tasks just like cut, copy and paste in a text editor? Namely, to move a file you would have to "cut" it in the origin folder, go to your destination folder and "paste" the file there. Similar for copying. This should be easy even for non-techies.
