Comment 19 for bug 366065

Here are instructions how to download source, edit it and compile it with a bigger number of Places entries before subfolder: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/03/howto-display-more-than-5-bookmarks-at.html

There are also Brainstorms about this:

http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/14381/ (old; 44 voters)
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/22481/ (includes this, but not limited to; 262 voters)

I find myself constantly navigating to favorite places through the Places menu, and it's annoying to use the sub menu all the time.
