Folder Chooser for Bookmark editor

[Federico Vera]

The problem is simple but annoying, the basic idea is that when you want to edit the bookmarks of nautilus (Places menu in the classic Ubuntu desktop) it's necessary to manually type in (or paste the path). It would be nice to have a simple file chooser to select the new location of the bookmark (i.e. a choose location button), on the same subject there's no 'Cancel' option so if you regret a change, you must go back manually (again typing in the address).

I believe this is a bug rather than a papercut. The definition of a papercut has two key points:

 - A papercut must be a usability bug that is encountered by an average user regularly during their day-to-day computing habits ie browsing the web, checking email, IMing, etc.
- It should be fixable by one developer in one day.

This bug does not fulfil the first criteria in my opinion, so I am marking it as invalid.

This is a good idea however, and I would recommend suggesting it at Ubuntu Brainstorm (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/).

It could also be requested as an enhancement at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=nautilus

@Chris I believe that this classifies as a papercut, because new users, specially those dual-booting with windows usually leave all those folders in a separate (shared) partition, and they are more used to a visual folder selection model.

@leighman Thanks for the tip! I've just submitted the bug report as an enhancement: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636082
