This is great, I actually thought of doing something like that myself,
however, it would be really nice if it was part of Nautilus itself.
People tend to know about right clicking on something or can easily be
taught.  When I want to copy something in the file manager I right click
or drag.  If I was to right click on the cdrom in Computer and it had a
"Copy disk" menu item, that would be exceptional.
