Yes, this indeed looks like a real file manager. Very good catch. But...
Can I copy a file between two folders using this skin? Or can I move it? Or delete a file? Or rename one? Generally is possible the file manipulation?
Maybe I'm missing something, however I couldn't find a way to do these things.
I don't think so, as far as I tried it. But they are easy to implement, really - even drawing some bars related to the progress, if you do this internally. If you let Windows do it, it's even easier, you could just simply simulate the copy paste of files and folders. I would prove it to you right away using some basic FileView skin, but it won't change your opinion anyway, as you pointed out...

Yes it can do it, simply by right clicking which will show the same context menu that you see in Explorer. But this is quite a simple feature because FileView plugin supports showing the system context menu https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/plugins/fileview/#ContextMenu
Well, doesn't work. When I right click a file or folder it highlights the file or folder and no context menu is shown:

If you click right mouse button on the name it will show the renaming input. But if you click on the empty space next to the file name it will show the context menu. It was done like that because the system context menu called from Rainmeter will miss the renaming option for the reason that it will not be able to pass this command back to Rainmeter.

Well, the copy from context menu will work this way, but not the paste part, from what I've been able to see.

Surprisingly, copy command in context menu called from Rainmeter does not work. When you copy some file/folder in Explorer you will see that you can paste it in Rainmeter from FileView's context menu. But not the way around.

I suppose this is intentional, given the developers' obses... I mean care with not abusing the write part that can possibly be done from within Rainmeter, for security reasons. I understand this, of course, but to me this concern is in general (and not just in Rainmeter) a bit exaggerated, since a smar... I mean bad guy will find a way anyhow to do malice even from software that use various restrictions in that area.

So finally this is not quite a real file manager. QED...

It is what it is
Don't get mad at me, didn't want to upset you. Just still believe that not everything is possible and tried to demonstrate this.
End of arguing on this question from my part...
