Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

I made an ssh connection from the places menu and bookmarked it. The places menu looks fine, however the lower left of the Nautilus window shows it as nameless. See attached screenshot.

Thanks for the report Scott, i cannot reproduce the issue with current nautilus on either Lucid or Maverick, is this still an issue for you? Thanks.

I believe I figured it out - it's actually a usability issue. There was a "bookmark name" field that I wasn't paying attention to, expecting a reasonable default like I had in previous Gnomes. Now the default is a blank name, presumably from not entering anything in the field.

Instead we should default to something more sensible, like what the name is listed as in the Places menu. I'm still not sure why these two are different.

The Bookmark now says '(null)' in Ubuntu 11.04 and you do have to select a box to even have bookmark, so its name should be filled in by the user. However it should still have a sensible default so I agree with this bug report.
