Krychek, that does not solve the problem. The issue I am discussing is
the Places which /can not/ be edited, and how they correspond with the
user-created bookmarks.
There are currently three Places lists, each with a different selection
of built-in Places that could not be easily edited by the user, and
user-created bookmarks which are stored in the same central location.
People thus create bookmarks to link to locations not linked to by the
built in places. The problem arises here, because while those bookmarks
may be fine in one list, they are redundant in another. Most notably,
this commonly caused a redundancy problem in the main menu's Places
list, which ultimately led to Bug #122602.
Nautilus should automatically list mounted file systems in Places, and maybe
special locations like network://. However, specific locations like Desktop
should always be saved with user-defined bookmarks.
To fix the obvious loss here (it's good having Desktop and File System linked
to in Places out of the box), there can be some user-controllable bookmarks set
by default. Specifically: Desktop, / and Home. (Possibly the automatically
created home subfolders, too, such as Documents, Downloads and Public).
The ultimate goal here would be that every places list, be it the one in the
GTKFileChooser widget, the main menu or Nautilus, has the exact same items.
They already show the exact same bookmarks, so integrating that automatically
generated chunk of the menu should not be too difficult. Just takes some
imagination.
One thought would be a file that lists every item that should be in the Places
menu. Then, every time a program wants a Places menu, it reads from that file
instead of duplicating code.
