A few days ago I happened to accidentally right-click on a custom folder launcher that I've had on my dock for years. To my surprise, in the menu that popped up were links to other folders like, Documents, Downloads, Music etc. as well as my bookmarked folders. What a great feature, I thought. There must have been some sort of upgrade that added this feature without my knowing. But two days ago I tried this again and all the folder links are gone. I have no idea why, or how to get them back. Does anyone know how I can get those back?

Hello and thank you for being a long time supporter of cairo-dock.

I am not one of the developers so I can't say for sure but I am only aware of those features in the Shortcuts applet. How did you add the custom folder launcher? When you right click on it what do the first few lines say (cairo-dock should be the top line)? Do you have the Shortcuts applet on your dock?

My launcher is not the Shortcuts applet. The Shortcuts applet has options in the right-click menu listed as Cairo-Dock, Shortcuts, Open Home Folder, Connect to Server, Browse Network, and Browse Recent Files. My launcher's right-click menu has Cairo-Dock, and then the name of my chosen folder listed below. It used to also have listed directly beneath that Documents, Downloads, Music, and then three of my bookmarked folders. I don't know how those folders got there, or why those particular folders were chosen, but I'd love to have that feature back.

Okay, mysteriously, the other folders are back now. I took a screenshot.

I'd love to know why/how this is happening so I can specify which extra folders I'd like to appear on the menu. I'd also like to know the folders won't just mysteriously appear and disappear at random. Anyone got any ideas what this is about?

I think the Cairo-Dock Nautilus launcher is mimicking the behaviour of the Unity Nautilus launcher. I think this is why I'm getting these extra folder options in the context menu. I am now also getting the two extra options. "Show Copy Dialog" and " Cancel All In-Progress Actions." This is what led me to think it's mimicking the Unity Launcher. I don't use Unity, I use Ubuntu Fallback, so I'm not familiar with Unity's launchers. However, the problem still remains that these options come and go. Sometimes when I boot the computer the options are there and sometimes not. I would still like to learn exactly what is happening and why.
