Allow Easy Customization of the Places menu

[Yann Lossouarn]

The Places menu is really useful, but finding how to edit (through Nautilus' left column, after having selected "Places" in the upper listbox) is a real challenge... I expected it to be possible through direct handling : copy/paste, or right click on a element to edit/delete it...

EDIT (June 22th, 2009)
In fact I'd like to be able to add/remove elements directly from this menu. Several ways could be chosen : either a "Manage places" item in the menu, or putting a contextual menu to the Places menu, with items that allow creating / deleting a shortcut directly from there. The latter option is what I called "direct handling" : I see an item I want to remove, I right click on it and I can remove it".

I am not sure what you are suggesting here - I understand you mean the association between the Places menu in Nautilus and the bookmarks in the Places menu in the panel is not clear - is that correct?

And you would like to be able to remove elements from the Places menu by right-clicking in the menu?

I am not sure what you are suggesting with "I expected it to be possible through direct handling : copy/paste", could you expand on that please?

Hello Lightbreeze,

Concerning your first question -> correct ! :)

In fact I'd like to be able to add/remove elements directly from this menu. Several ways could be chosen : either a "Manage places" item in the menu, or putting a contextual menu to the Places menu, with items that allow creating / deleting a shortcut directly from there.

Bye,
Yann

This doesnt seem to be a papercut... More of a feature request...
Yann unless you can point out an easy solution for this , this feature request needs to be discussed upstream...

I like the idea, +1 , but wish you could identify the package and discuss it upstream.

Since the invalid list is growing , some good ideas are getting lost , hence assigned it to Ayatana[after discussing with David Siegel] for further consideration.
