If I'm not wrong you could do that from a gui with the following trick[1] that is on the PoweUserTools page[2], so you don't need to edit code... > I was thinking that being able to add "Special Folders" - user defined > links to folders which will appear on the desktop and as root nodes in > the file manager tree - to Nautilus would be a nice feature, if done > properly i.e. configured with gconf - obviously not hardcoded. > I like the feature but don't know if suitable to have it in a default nautilus, I'm thinking that the feature, if implemented as in the trick[1], could be done as a nautilus-extension or better as a bundled (but not active) action of nautilus-actions, in case nautilus-actions gets included in nautilus which seems it will happen.
