sorry, that was sent before i completed this is something that i had always thought of.
Apart from the normal places/bookmarks on the side pane of the file manager, it would be great to let leach folder have it's own set of bookmarks. eg you are at ~/ebooks/math how it looks with sidepane now: ================================== = sidepane | main window ---------------------------------- - Home Computer etc --separator-- (Bookmarks) Audio Documents Video, etc ---------------------------------- - * how i think it would be more useful: ================================== = sidepane | main window ---------------------------------- - Home Computer etc --separator-- (Bookmarks-system) Audio Documents Video, etc --separator-- (Bookmarks-specific to this folder) FolderX FolderY FolderZ, Etc ---------------------------------- - the second set of book marks change depending on the folder that is open in the main window. so if i open another folder, this changes as: ================================== = sidepane | main window ---------------------------------- - Home Computer etc --separator-- (Bookmarks-system) Audio Documents Video, etc --separator-- (Bookmarks-specific to this folder) Folder-A Folder-B Folder-C, Etc ---------------------------------- - On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 2:54 PM, Jasir Alavi <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 3:48 AM, anthony <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> Nautilus(as File manager) should have pane, where it shows all selected >>>>> files.
