Persist sidebar history across sessions
Last modified: 2006-03-16 19:51:51 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.
