Nautilus does not add bookmarks

[Oscar Sandoval Torres]

Binary package hint: nautilus

When I try to add a new bookmark (i.e. "papers" folder) I select the directory and then I use the menu Bookmarks->Add bookmark, It doesn't work. The I try the Ctrl+D combination, but doesn't work.

1) Ubuntu Release: 9.10
2) Version of software:
nautilus:
  Installed: 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3
  Candidate: 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3
  Version table:
 *** 1:2.28.1-0ubuntu3 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:2.28.1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://es.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
3) I hope that a bookmark is added when I use the Add Bookmark option or the Ctrl+D combination.
4) Nothing happens

I tried to follow your instructions and everything works fine here (am not sure if I miss something), I'm using Karmic and nautilus 2.28.1, did you check your left lateral menu (nautilus)? thanks in advance.

No, I was trying to make the bookmark from the main panel. I did the more intuitive.

Now I have activated the side panel, tried to make the bookmark and it all works.

I find it very confusing that in the main panel does not work.

Thanks for your help.

If I understand the original report, Oscar selected a folder with his mouse in a Nautilus window and expected it to be bookmarked when he pressed Ctrl+D (or used the menu option to create a bookmark). This would make this bug a duplicate of #549573.
