Thank you. Where do you rename the bookmarks? I have Ubuntu 14.04 and I
went to Nautilus. on the side there are bookmarks. I right press on them
and press rename and change their names do not change in the Places & Files
indicator 0.5.8
it shows the original name of the directory not the renamed name of the
bookmark.
