Description antistress 2009-10-28 23:23:06 UTC 
I have 2 hard drives
i use my 2nd to store videos

Actually i've added that line to my fstab file :
/dev/sdb1 /home/username/Vidéos ext4 errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 2
(i'm french and my XDG_VIDEOS_DIR is named "Vidéos")

I can see the video folder within Nautilus (in Places panel) but i can't see it within GTKFileChooser

Bug initially reported on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/462761

(Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic/GNOME 2.28.1)
Comment 1 antistress 2010-09-15 22:03:38 UTC 
To complete my intial report, i'ld like to add that the XDG_VIDEOS_DIR is displayed in the GNOME Panel Menubar (Places) but not under the XDG_VIDEOS_DIR name
see screenshot attached

To sum up things

Videos is shown in Nautilus sidebar
videos is shown in GNOME Panel Menubar but under the name of the hard drive instead of Videos
Videos is not shown in FileChosser sidebar

Comment 3 Federico Mena Quintero 2010-09-17 02:21:17 UTC 
Do you you have that "stockage" in your ~/.gtk-bookmarks?

The file chooser tries to avoid displaying duplicate entries in the shortcuts list.  If that item is shown as a volume, then it won't be shown duplicated in your bookmarks.  Maybe we should show it in both places to avoid confusion...
Comment 4 antistress 2010-09-18 03:21:34 UTC 
Here is my ~/.gtk-bookmarks has

file:///home/tb/Documents
file:///home/tb/Musique
file:///home/tb/Images
file:///home/tb/Vid%C3%A9os
file:///home/tb/T%C3%A9l%C3%A9chargements

There is "Vidéos" and no "stockage"
Comment 5 Timothy Arceri 2013-06-14 06:46:10 UTC 
If this was working correctly in Nautilus then the new shared GtkPlacesSidebar
thats avaliable from 3.9.0+ will probably fix this bug (the code is based on
Nautilus code). Can you test/confirm?

See bug 650363

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are moving bugs to NEEDINFO if they haven't seen activity in more than a year. If this issue is still important to you and still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please reopen it and we will migrate it to gitlab.
Comment 7 Matthias Clasen 2018-04-15 00:33:46 UTC 
As announced a while ago, we are migrating to gitlab, and bugs that haven't seen activity in the last year or so will be not be migrated, but closed out in bugzilla.

If this bug is still relevant to you, you can open a new issue describing the symptoms and how to reproduce it with gtk 3.22.x or master in gitlab:
