 +===== 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 =====
 +
 +
 +  - [[:xfce:xfce4-panel:add-new-items|Add the plugin to the panel]].
 +  - 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''.
