A few ideas...

What about combining functionality of command line at the top and folder links at the top of each panel?
That would allow you to both enter a path and click on it.
Oh and maybe one could enter something like c:\folder\*.txt and it would only show files that match to the filter expression?
Oh and is there any way to have renaming behave like in windows explorer where it marks the whole name and not just name without extension when you click it?

i'm not sure i follow what you're trying to achieve

for your rename issue see GIOPT_RENFULLNAME in registry.txt

I was thinking to combine the functionality of panel bar which shows current folder with links to higher-level folders with the command bar at the top, so you can both enter folder paths with the keyboard and also click on folders in the same bar. Not really required I know, but could be handy.
With the filter thing I thought that being able to put a wildcard string in the command line might be more convenient than opening a separate dialog for it.

Edit: Nevermind I just noticed that filter already works....doh

-When clicking on a location in drop down box history, it should go there immediately without having to press enter.
-Maybe add drop down tree view to title bars of panels?

I'd suggest adding that as an option, if at all. Too much annoyance potential for my taste. :)

As to the command line at the top of the window, when composing DOS or other commands it would be handy to be able to drag & drop files to the command line to insert them at the cursor or replace the currently selected text. With Shift and/or Ctrl drop-action modifiers it could insert just the file name, the full path + file name, just the path, or even just the name without the extension. It could automatically encase it with quotes if there are any spaces.

you can already execute commands from the addressbar and also grab filenames from the list below with <ctrl+enter>. See the tips and tricks file for more information
