I use the Nautilus bookmarks functionality to quickly navigate to important folders (favorite locations), the possibility to use "subfolders" such as requested here would greatly improve the categorization of these bookmarks. Note, that this also affects the GNOME Panel Menubar (places).

Since nautilus is powerful enough i use it to manage files from locations like ftp, ssh and smb. so my bookmarks got numerous easily.
it would be a huge enhancement to add another layer to this feature to get a better overview. the possibility to set custom icons or protocol influenced icons (i.e. local, network, online) will also be nice.

thank you for creating my favorite file browser!

I support this request. It would be very useful to can class bookmarks into subfolders.

Adding depends on bug #147434, since we'd need to update GtkFileChooser and Nautilus at the same time to support this.

*** Bug 699882 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

As explained in comment 2 and by many other comments on the launchpad thread, the use case for this was bookmarks for remote servers.

At the time this was reported, there was no list of Recent Servers, so servers had to be saved in bookmarks.

This is no longer the case. Currently, remote URLs are saved on a list of Recent Servers, not on the Bookmarks list.

Therefore, marking this old bug as obsolete.
