salut fabounet and matttbe,
I am curious... any application that mimics the gnome menus never includes the "Places" menu.
Can you explain why "Places" cannot be included in the gnome menu applet??

Hello coz,

Mostly because "Places" corresponds to "Shortcut" applet

salut fabounet and matttbe,
I think you forget many people

salut matttbe,

I am stupid !!! I forgot about the shortcuts applet ...duh!...

I do have another question though,

I notice with systray applet that it works like stalone tray but cannot be attached to the dock..
Has attaching it to the dock been difficult??

Yes because you have to keep all icons together (with the same size, etc.). So it's not possible to integrate the systray into the dock because of the wave and its zoom...

But maybe fabounet can (or should) make a workaround for the panel view !!!

The shortcuts applet doesn't quite correspond to the places menu with respect to unmounted partitions - the places menu lists unmounted partitions with their volume labels. This is very useful for hard drives with multiple partitions. Shortcuts, however, only lists volumes in terms of the harddrive size, e.g. 160GB Hard Disk, which means there is no way (at least that I can find as yet) to distinguish between multiple unmounted hard drive partitions using shortcuts.

The Shortcuts applet is not working with my Nautilus connection-server shortcuts. I have several nautilus bookmark to connect to my servers (ftp, sftp, etc). I got them listed in the Shortcuts menu, but clicking over them doesn't make anything, just bumping the icon.

indeed, I add a task to handle distant mount points.

Guest, Wednesday 28 September 2011 à 18:11

Any progress on handling remote mount points?
The latest version still can't do it.
A simple command like
gvfs-mount sftp://yourserver
would work in most cases

In any case, nice work!/Beau travail les gars!

Yes, it's a good idea.
And if we can use 'nautilus-connect-server' if this tool is available, it's also interesting.
