This appears to be very handy. On a side note, as opposed to clicking the arrow multiple times to go back/up, you can click the destination as it is listed directly in the address bar. For instance in the above image, if you wanted to go all the way back, you could click on "Data" in the address bar or if you wanted to just go back one step you could likewise click on "Icons". Just another alternative to have at ones disposal. Good find buddy.
