Netbook-launcher right-side panel does not match up with Nautilus bookmarks

[cyli]

This bug is related to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-launcher/+bug/278284

When you delete one of the folders listed in that right-side panel, it is removed from the Nautlilus bookmarks but not the right-side panel of netbook-launcher.

The list of folders in the right-side panel seems to just display every file/folder listed in .gtk-bookmarks. When you rm -rf that directory (or delete it with Nautilus), it's entry is not deleted from .gtk-bookmarks, so it is not deleted from the right-side panel (and as per the bug I linked to above, clicking on it does not show any kind of error message). However, Nautilus seems to check to make sure the entries in .gtk-bookmarks are valid before displaying them, and netbook-launcher does not.

Since the right-side panel seems to correspond to the Nautlius navigation panel (and an answer on launchpad suggests that the right-side panel may be edited by editing bookmarks on Nautilus: https://answers.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-launcher/+question/46068) it seems that the behavior should be the same.

I think this is because we don't keep a watch on the folders. Ideally we should keep a watch + check they exist at startup OR nautilus should remove them from the bookmarks if they are deleted.

Could you confirm that the bookmarks still appear in ~/.gtk-bookmarks, they are just not displayed by Nautilus. Thanks.

Yes, the bookmarks still appear in ~/.gtk-bookmarks.

Excellent, thanks for the quick response. Marking as priority for 1.2

The launcher will now check when it's loading/refreshing the places list that the folder specified actually exists. I'm not adding in monitoring of the place as it would add a couple of different issues. Currently the behaviour matches nautilus.
