nautilus-side-bar-has-no-bookmarks-in-fedora-20.png

I tested Fedora-20-RC1.1-x86_64-netinst.iso in qemu, started like this:

ionice -c 3 qemu-kvm -enable-kvm -global qxl.ram_size=1x1024 -m 2048M -smp 4 -drive file=./Fedora-20-RC1.1-x86_64-netinst.iso.qcow2,index=0,media=disk,cache=unsafe -localtime -serial file:/tmp/qemu-Fedora-20-RC1.1-x86_64-netinst.iso.qcow2-output.log -name Fedora-20-RC1.1-x86_64-netinst.iso.qcow2 -cdrom /local/mfabian/iso/Fedora-20-RC1.1/Fedora-20-x86_64-netinst.iso -boot c -spice port=6000,disable-ticketing,streaming-video=off -vga qxl -display vnc=:4 -net nic -net user,hostname=Fedora-20-RC1.1-x86_64-netinst.iso.qcow2,hostfwd=tcp::5556-:22 -monitor stdio -usb

Default installation in Japanese.

Nautilus then started in English with

    LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 nautilus &

(only to make this bug report clearer by showing English in the side bar
instead of Japanese ...)

In the screen shot one can see in the sidebar of Nautilus that
there is

    Places
    ...
    Devices
    ...
    Network
    ...

but no "Bookmarks".

There used to be "Bookmarks" in earlier versions. Are these gone
on purpose? Any way to get them back?

Nautilus version is nautilus-3.10.1-2.fc20.x86_64

I found how bookmarks can be created.

In the menu which opens when one clicks the "gear button", 
there is a “Bookmark this Location Ctrl+D”.
It is grayed out.

After selecting a folder, it is still grayed out.

But after entering a folder, it is not grayed out anymore.

Using this, one can add the very first bookmark.

After one bookmark exists, one can add more bookmarks by dragging and dropping
folders into this bookmark area in the  sidebar.

After deleting all bookmarks, the bookmark area in the sidebar is gone again.

So it works but it is hard to figure out how to use it.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 10:04:24 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 13:39:34 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
