Whiteboard

Self-explanatory mockup @ http://chawsum.deviantart.com/art/Marlin-Pile-o-files-188487070

#Naming convenience
Despite of the mockup, the 'cut' action should be named 'move'.

#Multiple-files-at-once behaviour
Files should stack. If multiple files are dragged on the pile o files at once it should form a neat stack.

#Default drag behaviour
If a file is dragged on the pile o files, the action should default to moving. You can change the aciton by rightclicking and directly force behaviour by holding down modifier keys. Holding shift forces move, ctrl forces copy (nautilus behaviour).

#Placing files
Placing files defaultly moves them out of the stack. Holding the modifier keys described above changes that behaviour.

#Actions
Right-clicking files in the pile should pop up a menu with the following items:
 * Move // To change mode, as shown in mockup
 * Copy // To change mode, as shown in mockup
 * Restore // Removes from stack and as needed places back
 * Open conaining folder // Opens the folder containing the file
