bookmarks need subfolders

[Kai F. Lahmann]

...ever thought about having 100 such bookmarks?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thanks for your bug. I'm not sure that many people that many folder or their disk, that's not a web browser. Anyway I've forwarded it upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335144. Setting it as low priority wishlist though

[Kai F. Lahmann (kfl)]

the problem starts to become bigger, as you use that function for sftp:// and webdav:// too. Now image one of both for each server you administrate...

I use the Nautilus bookmarks functionality to quickly navigate to important folders (favorite locations), the possibility to use "subfolders" such as requested here would greatly improve the categorization of these bookmarks. Note, that this also affects the GNOME Panel Menubar (places).

[Lubosz Sarnecki (lubosz)]

folders would be incredibly nice, my online locations, network and my local bookmarks get to numburous... i use nautilus as ftp, ssh and smb client too, get this implemented please :D

Is there any status on this? The ability to use a subfolder structure as an organizational tool is a basic standard to be expected in today's desktop environment.

[Manuel Bua (manuel-bua)]

+1 for this proposal, at work i need to ssh/ftp on some servers and the ability to organize and categorize bookmarks would be productive.

[Humpparitari (humpparitari)]

This would be a fantastic addition!
I use bookmarks for SFTP and some frequently visited folders on my computer and home server.
This adds up to about 20 bookmarks. There would be more, but with these it's already a fine mess. :)

[Michael Gagnon (mike-it-mike)]

+1, again because ssh/ftp server list really adds up here. as a hack work-around, i create my own bookmarks by putting scripts in a 'network places' folder (or appropriate subfolder).

for example, /home/user/Network Places/web projects/kitties file might look like:

#!/bin/bash
nautilus sftp://login@server:22/home/kitties

chmod +x and you're set. not exactly convenient, but it keeps things tidy.

[Diogo Resende (dresende)]

+1, ftp/dav/smb/ssh.. I have way to many bookmarks, I need folders! I develop on several projects, each one with development/test/deployment instances... this is high priority enhancement for me.

[Brazen (jdinkel)]

I can't believe this has still not been implemented. It's such a basic usability issue. If users don't want subfolders than they don't have to use them, but it would be a huge improvement for those of us that need it.

[Eric Link (link-sandlion)]

I agree w/ @Brazen

Wow; low priority? ... I would have never thunk it.

After visiting this issue for several hours at a time over the last few months I am surprised I've never run across this thread though.
However I've been dancing around this issue with everything from the explicit "subfolders in bookmarks" to a "save tabs" sort of functionality or "bookmark tabs" functionality for nautilus (which I actually called "save session" but meant more like "bookmark tabs".

Check out these threads that I and others have been interested in:

There are other forums that I (and others) have been working on this issue but I won't go through all of them :-)

+1 This would be a nice feature!

i just really need this feature too
wit 50+ 'places' it gets really hard to find what you need :-(

[Manuel Schmidt (manuelschmidt)]

+1 ... dont want to have yet another login to gnomes bugzilla ...

I have alot of Bookmarks, SMB, SFTP, and others ... And it would definetly help if i could better organise them then renaming them.

[Stephan van Ingen (stephanvaningen)]

I would appreciate a possible folder-structure because I have quite some FTP and other external links for many different factories/companies I work for: grouping per factory would simplify my work quite a bit!

[Markus Klyver (markusklyver)]

+1 for this.

[mike levine (nasmaster)]

+1

i would like to see this.
it is driving me crazy enough to do it to...

[thijs van severen (thijsvanseveren)]

any update on this ?

[Romain (touliloup)]

I had the same problem and found one solution, to edit the bookmark file manually as it already support sub-folder.

Simply edit the file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks

The syntax is really easy, for example:
sftp://$USER_NAME@$SERVEUR_URL(:port)/$SUBFOLDER_PATH $BOOKMARK_NAME

Nevertheless would be nice if the graphical interface offer this option.

upstream closed the bug with that comment

"
At the time this was reported, there was no list of Recent Servers, so servers had to be saved in bookmarks.

This is no longer the case. Currently, remote URLs are saved on a list of Recent Servers, not on the Bookmarks list.

Therefore, marking this old bug as obsolete."
