I'm attaching the proposed patch to be applied against the gnome-panel package*, which increases MAX_ITEMS_OR_SUBMENU from 5 to 8. When this patch is applied, the Places menu will show 8 bookmarks and/or drives before branching into a submenu.
Rationale: Currently we have four initial bookmarks on a default installation (Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos), which allows space for one custom bookmark to be added before the bookmarks are branched into a submenu. If we add a "Downloads" bookmark to the default installation, the Places menu will branch into a submenu after one custom bookmark is added. Increasing the threshold from 5 to 8 will allow for 3 extra bookmarks to be added before the submenu is branched, thus utilizing more space on the Places menu. *This is a separate issue to bug #262520. ** Attachment added: "Increase hardcoded value of MAX_ITEM_OR_SUBMENU from 5 to 8, to accommodate extra bookmarks in Places menu" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30230368/32_increase_max_items_or_submenu.patch -- downloads should go to $HOME/Downloads : XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR should be set to "$HOME/Downloads" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204567 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
