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

 

There are some other inconsistencies as well.

1. If nautilus is open in the background behind another app, clicking a
QLBM (quicklist bookmark) opens and browses to that bookmark in the
background nautilus but does not bring the window to the foreground.
This is intermittent, sometimes the window is brought to foreground,
sometimes not. Sometimes it happens when nautilus is already open.
Sometimes it browses to the folder, sometimes it opens a whole new
window and browses to it. really struggling to consistently reproduce,
seems to happen at random.

2. With an open nautilus window, in foreground when you try clicking the
home folder QLBM, nothing happens. But then trying to click any other
QLBM after that suddenly a new nautilus window opens focusing on home
folder. Do the same for when nautilus is in the background, it just
brings the window to the foreground but does not open home folder.

3. Sometimes the QLBM's don't work at all and causes a nautilus crash.
Click bookmark and nothing happens, click another bookmark nothing
happens. Click home folder QLBM or just the home folder icon in launcher
and then it opens, or nothing will happen for a second and then nautilus
crashes. This too is intermittent, struggling to reproduce consistently.

Will play around some more and report back tomorrow

  Nautilus quicklist does not contain the locations previously found
  under the 'Places' menu.

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
  -----------------------
