 +===== Introduction =====
 +
 +The plugin puts a simple button on the panel. Clicking on this button opens up a menu with the following:
 +
 +  - System-defined directories (home folder, trash, desktop, file system)
 +  - Removable media (using thunar-vfs)
 +  - User-defined bookmarks (reads ''~/.gtk-bookmarks'')
 +  - Search program launcher (optional)
 +  - Recent documents submenu (requires GTK+ v2.10 or greater)
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== Usage =====
 +
 +After adding the plugin to the panel, user-defined bookmarks can be modified with a file manager or by manually editing ''~/.gtk-bookmarks''.
 +The plugin can be configured by right-clicking on the button and selecting Properties (see screenshot below).
