The plugin puts a simple button on the panel. Clicking on this button opens up a menu with the following:

1. System-defined directories (home folder, trash, desktop, file system)
2. Removable media (using thunar-vfs)
3. User-defined bookmarks (reads ~/.gtk-bookmarks)
4. Search program launcher (optional)
5. Recent documents submenu (requires GTK+ v2.10 or greater)

1. Add the plugin to the panel.
2. 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.
