Its perhaps not what you ask for, but the change in the gnome menu has sort of a solution to problems like this. If i remember correctly gnome 2.10 will use the same menu as ubuntu unstable. That is [Program] [Places] [Desktop], where the [Places] menu, among other things, contains a submenu for the gtk fileselectors bookmarks. English is not my first language and perhaps I have explained it wrong, but, as I know it (and use it in Ubuntu unstable), you can put a bookmark for example /home/user/Documents/School/Essays/. That way the folder with essays are easy to get from the menu. I dont think it works for documents, only folders. But atleast it will save you some clicks in the filebrowser. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
