GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 697776
Network location bookmarks disappears
Last modified: 2014-02-20 10:48:18 UTC
I add bookmarks to several network locations for convenience. When I click on the bookmark, I am asked for the ssh key passphrase and I can log in nicely. However the bookmark gets deleted automatically. I am using sftp://<path to network location> while specifying the bookmark in case it matters.
It turns out that it is only a **visual** glitch. If I restart nautilus, bookmarks are back. Sorry for reporting bug too early.
A visual glitch is still a bug. Reopening. I can reproduce with the following steps: Launch nautilus. Click on bookmark of an ftp:// location. The location opens; server added to the sidebar, under "Network". Open a subfolder. Click the unmount button of the server entry in the sidebar, under Network. Expected Result: Sidebar entry under "Network" disappears, the one under "Bookmarks" does not. The view changes to my home folder. Actual Result: Both sidebar entries, under "Network" and under "Bookmarks", disappear. The view doesn't change and the Pathbar is empty. This glitch propagates to new windows. Closing all windows and relaunching nautilus restores the Bookmark entry.
I found another set of steps, which are closer to what was originally reported: Launch nautilus. Click on the bookmark of an ftp:// location. Click the unmount icon in the sidebar. Click on the bookmark of an ftp:// location again. Result: The bookmark disappears. This glitch propagates to new windows. Closing all windows and relaunching nautilus restores the Bookmark visibility.

i see this in openSUSE 13.1 now. if i create a bookmark to a network resource the bookmark disappears if the network resource is not mounted. accessing the resource make the bookmark appear - that kind of defeats the purpose of a bookmark. nautilus-3.10.1-4.1.x86_64
(In reply to comment #5) That's a different bug from what is described here. Good news it is already fixed (bug 711548). It should be gone when you get the gtk+ update.
> Both sidebar entries, under "Network" and under "Bookmarks", disappear. This bug is not reproducible in 3.10.1. Presumably a side effect of the port to GtkPlacesSidebar. > The view doesn't change and the Pathbar is empty. This was a separate bug (bug 724560), which is fixed in 3.11.90.
