xfce4-places-plugin - Places
A menu with quick access to folders, documents, and removable media.
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
- Right-click on the added plugin, select Properties to open the settings window.
After adding the plugin to the panel, user-defined bookmarks can be modified with a file manager or by manually editing ~/.gtk-bookmarks.
