@Lonnie: you seem to be a power user and have your workflow, that's fine
but that's just an anecdotic example ;-)

Just as a counter-example, I've been using Ubuntu for 10 years, I do use 
nautilus to manage files but I've used that feature. 
- I access music albums or photo collections through rhythmbox or shotwell 
usually. 
- If you double click on an image it opens in eog which has a "gallery" which 
lists all the images from the current directory
- you can easily dnd a directory to totem, or open the directory, select all 
and right-click/open with

Everyone has a different workflow I guess ;-)

Note that you wrote "For the sake of intuitiveness, always provide a
contextual menu for each element graphically displayed", user testing
shows that context menu are not "intuitive" for most users.

As written on one of the duplicate, there is no right/wrong there, but a
balance between too many options making the menu difficult to parse/use
and having the useful options easily available.

I'm unsure how used that feature is/how good the workaround are
considered by most user (dnd, select-all -> right click on the
selection) and I don't know if we have a good way to get useful datas on
such questions...
