12.10nautilus
I updated the Nautilus to 3.6 in Ubuntu 12.10, but I didn't find the how to add my folder to "Bookmark" section.
If I press Ctrl + B, it show the list of bookmarks, but I can't add any. I can't drag & drop just like in other versions.
Does anyone know how to do this properly?
You can get back the full date by recompiling nautilus:
sudo apt-get build-dep nautilus
sudo apt-get install quilt
export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
apt-get source nautilus
cd nautilus*
quilt new 999_full_dates.patch
quilt edit libnautilus-private/nautilus-column-utilities.c
Change line 77 from
"attribute", "date_modified",
to
"attribute", "date_modified_full",
Rebuild and install modified package:
quilt refresh
fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage
cd ..
killall nautilus
sudo dpkg -i nautilus_*.deb
nautilus &
As always, you have to perform these steps every time there is an update for nautilus in Ubuntu.
Now, a full analysis of the problem:
The actual patch which caused this change is this one.
The function nautilus_file_get_date_as_string gains an extra gboolean parameter "compact" - when true the abbreviated date is returned.
This function is never called directly - it is accessed through the wrapper function nautilus_file_get_string_attribute_q. This function takes attribute parameters like "date_modified". To accommodate the new signature of nautilus_file_get_date_as_string a new attribute is added "date_modified_full". After this change, any code in nautilus which uses the file date string will get the abbreviated date.
Finally, the file properties dialog is updated to use "date_modified_full" attribute.
So in order to have nautilus display the full date in list view, it is only necessary to change one line of code: in libnautilus-private/nautilus-column-utilities.c, line 77 from "date_modified" to "date_modified_full".
A slightly more useful patch could add a new column type which would show the full date, making this an optional feature, and only add 10 lines of code.
In order to achieve that.. you should edit the Nautilus source code and the nautilus.desktop file or using another file manager that allows this, such as nemo.
1) Make sure you have enable the Source code repository
Open a Terminal Window to update the repositories.
sudo apt-get update2) In the Terminal type the following to install the necessary packages.
sudo apt-get install build-essential quilt3) Install build dependencies.
sudo apt-get build-dep nautilus4) Create a folder to download the source code.
mkdir ~/Downloads/src
cd ~/Downloads/src
5) Download the source code & Export variables.
apt-get source nautilus
export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
export EDITOR=gedit
6) Create the patch and edit the source code.
cd nautilus-3.6.3/
quilt new my_custom_places.patch
quilt edit src/nautilus-places-sidebar.c
Custom Trash: To change the name of the Trash.You can change the strings in the lines 567 and 569.
eg: "Trash" to "Custom Trash" & "Open the trash" to "Open the Custom Trash"
Add Folder: In this example I will add the "Test" folder in my home directory /home/virtual/Test. (change the folder according to your needs)
After the line number 562 add the following:
/* add Test directory */
mount_uri = "file:///home/virtual/Test";
icon = g_themed_icon_new (NAUTILUS_ICON_FOLDER);
add_place (sidebar, PLACES_BUILT_IN,
SECTION_COMPUTER,
_("Test"), icon, mount_uri,
NULL, NULL, NULL, 0,
_("Open Test folder"));
g_object_unref (icon);
Remove Recent Files: To remove the Recent Files from the places... delete the lines from 525 to 534.
Save the changes.
7) Build the deb packages.
quilt refreshfakeroot dpkg-buildpackage8) Install the deb packages.
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i *deb
9) For system-wide..edit the nautilus.desktop file to add the folder eg:(/home/virtual/Test) in the quick list.
sudo nano /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktopChange:
Actions=Window;
To:
Actions=Test;Window;
Add:
[Desktop Action Test]
Name=Test
Exec=nautilus --new-window /home/virtual/Test
OnlyShowIn=Unity;

After:
10) Finally you can logout and Login to see the changes.
RESULT:
Hope this helps.
