When I try to select "Pictures" directory from the list (nautilus bookmarks) as a save location, it reverts to (None). Selecting a directory that has exactly one subdirectory will choose that subdirectory instead. Selecting "Other..." and than choosing a directory from "Select a folder" dialog works fine.
