Description Tuukka Tolvanen 2004-04-09 20:54:51 UTC
Description of Problem:
When I start a new session, it would be nice if
the recently visited folders (files) from the
previous session would still be be available in
nautilus' history sidebar.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open history sidebar
2. Browse around filesystem (for rationale:
specifically visit the folders which are relevant
to whatever you're working on these days)
3. Exit X session and restart, or close all
windows and restart

Actual Results:
Nautilus history sidebar has only current
directory (file).

Expected Results:
Nautilus history sidebar has same contents as when
shut down.

Additional Information:
The rationale is that the sidebar history panel
could very effectively serve the same purpose as
the most-recently-used-documents list commonly
found in the File menu in applications; not
persisting any history across sessions means, in
order to get similar functionality, things like
leaving multiple windows open for the stored
session (clutter) or explicit bookmarking (work).

Thanks for your bug report!
What we really need is a tighter integration wrt some recent-folder
implementation, probably we'd have to rely on libegg for storing our
recently-visited locations.
