Using Bookmarks For Your Favorite Locations

Your bookmarks are listed in the following places:

  • The Places menu on the top panel.
  • The Places menu in a folder window.
  • The Bookmarks menu in a Nautilus browser window.
  • The side pane in the Open File dialog. This allows you to quickly open a file that is in one of your bookmarked locations.
  • The list of commonly used locations in the Save File dialog. This allows you to quickly save a file to a location you have in your bookmarks.

To open an item that is in your bookmarks, choose the item from a menu.
