A couple issues with Copy and Send features.

Hello,
This is a great app, however I have a few issues:
1. Everything supports root access except the Send to feature. I would like to be able to send files to other apps for which the other app has no permission. Perhaps copy it to a temp location before sharing it? I have an ext4 dmcrypt image mounted on my sdcard and only root has access to some files in it and I would like to be able to send them to other apps. Currently the only way (besides the shell) is to copy them to the sdcard. I even tried copying to a tmpfs mount but naturally the permissions get copied too.
2. There seems to be no way to paste a file into an empty directory. The only way I can get the menu with the paste option is by long pressing an existing file on the folder.
