Description Young-Ho Cha 2007-10-20 14:20:37 UTC 
I reported bug 484130, but that is not a gnome bug. But it seems there is a remained usability issue.

Nautilus can bookmark volume or home directory, but gtkfilechooser can't do that.

There is not consistent in desktop environment. It should have same behavier.

-> GtkFileChooser

Though I can't really see how this is possible, the file chooser already has items in the left pane for mounted volumes and for home folder.

I don't think this should be fixed in GtkFileChooser, it ignores any bookmark that points to any shortcut that's already shown, which looks like a good behavior to me.
Comment 3 Timothy Arceri 2013-06-14 04:47:08 UTC 
The new gtkplacessidebar widget to be released in 3.10 (currently in git master) makes this bug obsolete as this widget is to be shared between filechooser and Nautilus. Looking at the code it does not allow home directory to be bookmarked, and not sure if a volume can be bookmarks but regardless it should now be the same across the desktop environment.
