I would like to create a link to some new folder that I have in my home. The left panel shows docs, images downloads etc. But I would like to add my other folders that I created myself like university etc,
It use to be as simple as drag and drop the folder on the panel, but it doens't work anymore. How can I create a link?
The image is to show what panel I'm talking about:
You can add Bookmarks. Just go to the desired directory and via Global Menu → Bookmarks → Add bookmark.
Or you can use simply Ctrl+D when you are in the desired directory.
For Ubuntu 13.04 or more updated versions, you can click the "gear" icon on top right and use "Add Bookmark"
For Ubuntu 17.10, you can create links to the sidebar in the bookmarks file. In the terminal, type
cd .config/gtk-3.0
Then open a file called bookmarks with your choice of text editor. I use vim, so I type
vim bookmarks
Add the link to the directory (folder), save, and do a restart or log off/login.
it's very easy:
1.Open your folder
2.from menu bar select bookmark
3.select bookmark this location
It's not elegant, but if you simply create an empty file, open it, save-as, then browse the top level folder of the directory you want to bookmark in the side panel, you can actually drag that link to the side panel and it will then show up in the side panel.
For some Ubuntu version, you can go the parent directory and drag the desired folder to the left panel.
Ctrl+D didn't work for me. But
sudo vi ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks
did the job.
