(Get the code!)
Option 1 is also not at all obvious. Many people migrating from Windows will be expecting to be able to simply drag and drop into the main area, and to be quite frank I would expect that as well. Additionally, what if the current path is not in "button" mode but in "text" mode; is it possible then?
Obviously option 3 would be a big step up from the currently functionality, but still it would be inferior to the Windows implementation. In Windows the only non-whitespace is the area occupied by the filename, not the entire filename column; imagine if you turned off all columns except the filename column, the problem would still be there since option 3 is not possible.
