Yesterday while checking bug list, I found one feature request regarding this feature and then it came to my mind. I tried to find that bug but I am unable to find it currently.

I actually find the behaviour quite intuitive (as soon as you learned it exists) - so I wouldn't see a Usability argument to say no to this patch.

I just noticed that you intend to go "Back" - I find this actually confusing and would rather expect a "Folder Up" navigation (the empty space representing the parent folder).
