Bookmarks in nautilus only in menu, not in the shortcut tab
On my latest Ubuntu install, using version 12.04, my bookmarks are not there.
I can ctrl+d to add bookmarks, but the bookmarks part of nautilus is missing altogether so they are not showing.
i.e. the sidebar panel doesn't have a bookmarks section.
Try resetting the nautilus configuration settings, Open a terminal and do this
nautilus -q
rm -r ~/.config/nautilus/ -v
rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus/
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/nautilus
Then start nautilus again. This should fix the problem.
To manage bookmarks go to the Files menu in the panel to open the Bookmarks dialog. There we may enter a name and a path of a bookmark to appear in the Nautilus left side panel in the Bookmarks section:
Alternatively open the directory you want to bookmark. Then click on the cogwheel top right to select "Bookmark this Location" or press Ctrl + D.
To remove a bookmark select "Remove"" from the right click context menu on the bookmark.
All our bookmarks will also be displayed as a quicklist:
Those bookmarks are stored in an editable file in .config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks where we may manually (or programmatically) add and remove path entries which take effect immediately. The examples above resulted in the following file content:
file:///home/takkat/Documents/test
file:///home/takkat/Music
file:///home/takkat/Pictures
file:///home/takkat/Videos
file:///home/takkat/Downloads
file:///home/takkat/Documents/My%20Bookmark My Bookmark

The bookmarks section will not be shown until you add a bookmark by either pressing Ctrl-D or dragging and dropping in the side bar.
Once you add a bookmark, A section will be created with Bookmarks name and will show your added folders.
