[Bug 723862] Re: Natuilus quicklist does not contain the locations previously found under the 'Places' menu.

 

Speaking about the implementation, I see two possibilities here:

 - Write a simple script that watches .gtk-bookmarks file and exports its contents to the quicklist of nautilus(-home).desktop.
 - Write a patch for Nautilus itself that makes use of NautilusBookmarkList object, exports it to the quicklist, and connects its signals to an internal function which opens a new window/tab.

The latter is much easier to implement, but it will probably increase boot time.
@seb128, didrocks: Any ideas on what's better?

Bug description:
  Description:  The right clicking on the Nautilus icon in the Launcher
  should open a quicklist that lists the bookmarks and locations
  displayed as Nautilus 'Places'.  These locations used to be displayed
  in the 'Places' menu bar menu, and are still displayed inside Nautilus
  in the left hand 'Places' sidebar.

  Desired resolution:
  The Nautilus Launcher quicklist should list all the bookmarks displayed inside Nautilus in the 'Places' sidebar.  This list needs to be dynamic, so that if user changes their bookmark, their new bookmarks are reflected in the quicklist.  In addition, a 'Open a new window' option should be added to the top of the quicklist.

  The quicklist should be formatted as follows:

  
  -----------------------
  Open a new window
  ---------
  [nautilus bookmark]
  [nautilus bookmark]
  [nautilus bookmark]
  [nautilus bookmark]
  [nautilus bookmark]
  [nautilus bookmark]
  [nautilus bookmark]
  etc...  (all nautilus bookmarks should be displayed)
  ---------
  Files
  ---------
  Keep in launcher
  Quit
  -----------------------
