add a new entry to nautilus places

[ture_atlantis]

I have a vfat drive mounted, and would liked to have an entry in nautilus places (where it shows your drives and everything else) is there a way to add an additional manual entry to that list?

bookmark it?

if you mount it under /media it should show up in places (if i remember correctly)..

Did this work for you? I've been working through a similar problem myself. I want to add "Music," "Pictures," etc. folders to the Places menu. When I created ~/Documents, Nautilus automatically added it to the Places menu below the home folder. Is there any way to manually add folders to that place? Adding them as bookmarks just look out of place below the Desktop entry.

I tried putting links to the directories in /media, but there was no effect. Additionally, when I mounted /dev/hdb2 there, it didn't show up in the places menu. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I just dragged the folder to the Places sidebar in a Nautilus window, and released it below the predefined Places and the separator.

Nautilus automatically created a link.

That is what I do too. It works fine. :)

Hello,

With some folders simply dragging and dropping the folder icon to the Place side bar doesn't work, you see the folder icon sliding back to its original location. If that happens then but the address bar in "button" mode instead of text entry mode and open the folder you want to add to the place bar and drag and drop the button of this folder which is in the address bar onto the place bar below the predefined folders as previously said.

I'm using gutsy (7.10) with Gnome. Best answer to this question is found in the general help "Using Bookmarks For Your Favorite Locations." Open the folder you want, and off the menu bar, select Bookmarks-->Add Bookmark.
