New description:

 Would it not be better to allow the user to type a path where there is
 currently a directory dropdown?

 i.e instead of:

 {{{
 /httpdocs/web/html
 /httpdocs/web
 /httpdocs
 /
 }}}


 just have a text area.

 I suggest this for these reasons:
   * 1) I can jump straight to a directory
   * 2) I can copy & paste a directory (to save/use it later or to paste
 from terminal etc)
   * 3) I can still jump back to parent directories (just delete a segment
 and hit enter)
   * 4) I can open two windows, browse to a directory in one window and
 then copy paste the location in the second window to copy a file between
 the two.
