(SOLVED) GTK bookmarks order

[HellMan]

Hello! I have a question, why order in gtk-bookmarks in mint menu is rather strange? It's quite different from order in nautilus.

Hi,

It's different right-click on your menu | Preference | Places

Hmmm I know it's different how to fix it?

Hi,

Just make it look the same? nautilus bookmark is of different location from the mintmenu.

The only way is to make it the same manually

Or did I misunderstood your question?

unexistance, i mean gtk-bookmarks feature in new MintMenu

First, i think gtk-bookmarks are stored in ~/.gtk-bookmarks. It's contents:


Next, gtk-bookmarks in nautilus have the same order as in the file:


But in MintMenu -> Places they are mixed up! (I don't add bookmarks manually, just used an option "show gtk bookmarks")


Of course i can disable that feature and add places manually. But i think this thing is very nice and it should be working good

Hi,

Sorry I haven't upgraded to mint10 yet ... I guessing mintmenu sort it automatically?

You can ask in mintmenu subforum

This one seems to me worth bumping. I have the same problem of the "Places" section of the Mint Menu using a seemingly arbitrary order when showing my GTK bookmarks

And I add to this the possibly related problem of the number of GTK bookmarks shown being limited to 5. I would have space for all 7-8 of my favorites if it let me. Coupled with the random order, I cannot even influence which of my 7 bookmarks appear here.

Fixed this.
In /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintMenu/plugins/places.py

Code: Select all

diff places_orig.py places.py
215c215
<             bookmarks = {}            
---
>             bookmarks = []
220c220
<                     parts = line.split(' ')
---
>                     parts = line.split(' ', 1)
223c223
<                         bookmarks[parts[1]] = parts[0]
---
>                         bookmarks += [(parts[1], parts[0])]
226c226
<                         bookmarks[junk[len(junk) - 1]] = parts[0]
---
>                         bookmarks += [(junk[len(junk) - 1], parts[0])]
228c228
<             for name, path in bookmarks.iteritems():                          
---
>             for name, path in bookmarks:

Also contains another fix - if bookmark contained spaces - it wasn't showed. With this fix it's ok.

If anyone needs this, fixed plugin here or

here

PS. Should I submit it anywhere?

PPS. mauricep, I have 14 items in places (gtk-bookmarks), everything is ok. There's also an option in mintmenu/places - scrollbar, with which really any amount of bookmarks will be shown (though it's not very convenient).

Hi,

This is awesome, I think you can give this to someone in mint tools subforum...
Or you can ask our forum moderator (they might know)

I just wanted to note that I've submitted a similar patch to the launchpad bug tracker for mintmenu (bug 782287), though I'm unclear as to whether that bug tracker is actively in use or not.

Just passing to say thanks to HellMan!
