Version: 1.0.2 (using KDE 4.0.5) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages When I use the konqueror I can use several bookmarks to navigate in my filesystem. In Dolpin this feature is missing.
In dolphin you can use "places". What do you think about?
Nice, but how can I administrate them. Places are miles away from the konqueror bookmarks. I do not have one Workspace like they did have on MS Computers. I have a MP3 collection in a special folder Pictures in several folders I have several folders for my docouments I need for my work Several folders for doing Webdesign directly on my local Webspace. Folders for Private comunication Folders vor archiving. My Folder organisation is highly complex and well structured. I thing if you organize your work well, you will need a complex structure and you will browse in this structure with only a few clicks. That is what people wants.
In Dolphin for KDE 4.1 you can manipulate the places directly. I'm still not sure which thing you are missing in the places concept, my guess is that you need to have hierarchical places (like a tree). Is this the case?
Yes
My take is similar to Stepfan's (especially re: creating my own hierarchy) but I'd also like to point out that since I've already set up bookmarks for use in Konqy why shouldn't I be able to use that same set in other KDE apps. Also, why is places so space ineffecient? The Icons are huge, they limit the number of places that would fit on my screen - minimally the icon size should be changable. thanks,
bill p., The icons shrink as you add more places. To see this effect, try to resize the panel.
The big show-stopper for me is an inability to store the ftp urls (user:password@domain) for all of my clients. In KDE3 putting files on a client's server was a simple matter of opening the local directory containing the to-be-uploaded files, splitting the window and finding the client in my bookmarks list. Now, my options are either: a) Open the local filesystem in Dolphin in and use Konqueror for the client, which doesn't work well since clicking on any folder in Konqueror opens a new instance of Dolphin (??) and on a 1024x768 laptop, there's no room for this. b) Drag a local folder into the places directory then edit it manually. Repeat for each client and have my Places panel filled up with one client on each line. Ideally, there'd be a way to have *one* bookmarks system which every KDE program could access either in whole or in part. Kate, Konqueror, KFile and Dolphin would all benefit greatly from this.
I think, bookmarks would be great in dolphin. I like the places for important stuff, but I also have locations, which I do not use often. They could be placed in a bookmark hierarchie. I also like the idea in this thread of a central bookmark system.

I'd just like to be able to drop files onto the places bar and organise them please. Anything else is a bonus. ;)
Just a comment to express the same need : I also really would like to get *back* the bookmarks feature konqueror once had :'( (Konquy is dead as a file manager in KDE4, so we don't have in KDE4 the features we had in KDE3) I miss a lot the ability to bookmark things in a hierarchical way, including filesystem bookmarks, sftp, fish ones, and so on. Just think about it : even windows explorer has the ability to bookmark things that way !! Can we write plugins for Dolphin ? Or is it mandatory to download/patch/compile complete KDE tree to implement things ?
Well, I totally agree that opportunity to have one so called "bookmarks" panel (like we have in all internet browsers with hierarchical structure of folders and so on) instead of "places" in all KDE4 apps. Because I do have some preferred "places", but it's not possible to place them all onto "places" bar, because of their number (10 ftp links, 10 preferred folders, 10 internet sites, 10 webdav folders... even this number of 40 will overflow "places" bar). So, 2 wishes: 1) Add hierarchical structure in "places". 2) Leave "places" accessible from all KDE4 apps.
This can be taken a step further with the model from the default Kmenu. In Kmenu there is a hierarchy of applications, and some of them can be marked as "favorites" for display in the Favorites panel. Dolphin and Konqueror could share bookmarks, some of which could be marked as "Favorite Places" and displayed in the Places panel. I would even suggest renaming the Places panel to either Favorite Places or simply Favorites in the name of consistency with Kmenu.

I now compared the places-functionality with traditional-bookmarks-menu, and for me, places is no good replace, too. a) to add a bookmark from a current folder (also external folders like sftp://... or smb://...) has to be easy like click "add bookmark" and click "ok" in naming-dialog (no copy & paste of URLs or redundant browsing). In "places" I cannot even add a new place without showing the places-panel (I like to have only displayed the folders-panel on the left to have a better overview (IE-Explorer-Style)). So I first have to open the places-panel, right click, and then my home-folder is recommended to add (instead of the current external folder), so I have to choose the folder again. b) call a bookmark should be easy even with many bookmarks. With places the selection is quite easy by clicking on the folder beside the address-bar (nice feature), but only for few places, which leads to the next point: c) bookmark-organisation: sorting & subfolders is not possible with places. I think the places idea would be nice to have a kde-wide place for storing often needed folders, which could be displayed in open/save-dialog of every kde-programm, but it does not replace the tradional bookmark-system.
hierarchical folder bookmarks is missing, I have a really long list of bookmarks that I have to visit, especially webdevelopment and places falls short in: 1. ability to show heirarchy 2. grouping of bookmarks/places into folders 3. since there is no grouping when the number of places is > 50 it gets annoying without a logical structure/place to look for info. Please please add bookmark feature to dolphin.
can we expect this feature for 4.4?
Actually instead of implementing bookmarks, could we improve places window into amarok-styled sidebar? or the dolphin styled folder navigation bar/bread-crumb bar? Places <- toplevel ------ home network root trash Bookmarks upon clicking Bookmarks, toplevel becomes Places->Bookmarks ----------------- folder1 folder2 folder3 upon clicking folder1, toplevel becomes Places->Bookmarks->folder1 www.a.com www.b.com www.c.com mouse over when toplevel is Places->Bookmarks should automatically open its sublevel, making dragging directory paths and adding urls. For this though the navigation bar should allow drag and drop of parent folder to the places window, currently I cannot add 'Home' directory to places.
Places are good for small & very frequently accessed places. But places are not good, 1. If need to bookmark a folder and use it less frequently. 2. My bookmark has very long name
Yes this needs to be added. I love Dolphin (just upgraded from Konqueror version 3.5), but I miss this. Note: places is a good thing, there just should be favorites in addition to places for less frequently used bookmarks that have long names.

bump! please implement a places/bookmark sidebar like amarok sidebar for kde sc 4.5 :) which is very functional.
Two things spring to mind here. Firstly if you are trying to get Windows users to move over to Linux then it would help if you made the change as painless as possible. Bookmarks are the equivalent of "Favorites" in Windows Explorer and it would be a useful part of the "security blanket" to have a menu entry. Secondly, I found how to add to "Places" but how do you remove an entry? It isn't intuitive and it isn't in the documentation. I don't have the complex requirements that some posters have listed above so Places in Dolphin is actually fine for me, but once Mandriva release the bug-fix so I can use Konqueror without having to run it from in a terminal, I will be returning to Konqueror. I just think it is a perfect file manager for my needs and I am more used to it than I am to Dolphin.
Note that I have been using Nautilus lately and it has both "Places" and "bookmarks". @Phil: Places entries can be removed from their respective context menus (right click).

The right-click doesn't work. I expect it is another Mandriva problem!
I use places only from the symbol left beside the navigation (url-edit input field). There is no right click context menu. Would be nice to have such a thing there, too.
@HH: Do you edit your Places that often? Serious question. I suppose that [Shift-]Delete should erase them, and F2 should rename them, see Bug 214498.
No, I do not edit them that often. But it feels quite unconfortable having to search the "view" menu for the "places panel" (which makes my folder-panel much too small) only to edit the places, and then to hide the places panel again. I would more like a menu entry "edit places" which shows a dialog (like bookmarks are handled in most usable browsers) for bookmark-editing/sorting/structure.
I agree with the others here that Places, as useful as the concept is, is no replacement for Bookmarks. This is actually the sole reason why I still use the Konqueror as a file manager.
i use bookmarks to open often used folders via kickoff but also files, that is quick and comfortable. i agree that files and html-links are no places so they should not appear in dolphin but maybe you could synchronize bookmarks & places only regarding folders so that bookmarks & places are somehow consistent.
You can definitively add me to the want hierarchical bookmarks camp. I agree with all of the reasons I read above for having hierarchical bookmarks (so I won't repeat everyone). I know different people think different ways; but for me hierarchical bookmarks are essential. In the meantime I'm having a looksy at both Midnight Commander and Worker File Manager (http://www.boomerangsworld.de/worker/) 'just' because of the hierarchical bookmarks (hotlists). ... No they aren't GUIs (so to speak) but the bookmarks issue is more important than that in my case.

The missing bookmarks are the reason for me NOT to switch from konqueror to dolphin. Just now I started a new trial. Creating a directory in the "Places" and put symbolic links to that is not what I would like to do. And I think, very few of the other complainers would be satisfied with such a work-arround. There are about 110000 files in my home directory (and some more at various auto-mounted nfs devices). For the daily work I need shortcuts ( == bookmarks) to about 50 folders and 70 files. The concept of "bookmarks" (as described by the other complainers) would be optimal for that task. Why not implementing it after years of requesting?
Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719
Konqueror has been demolished in 2016 to the level "unusable as a file manager" (e.g. no terminal emulator more?). We need hierarchical bookmarks on the dolphin to work productive.
Just WOW, 10 years and still no hierarchical bookmarks/favorites! A file browser with no bookmarks/favorites except a minimal, unstructured, max of about 20 before you need to scroll through reams and reams of single entries which just don't count. Maybe i can find a service or something, shall keep looking.
KDE have great tool keditbookmarks for manage bookmarks, that is integrated in Krusader. Why KDE5 Dolphin can't do same thing like in Krusader and reuse keditbookmarks api for create Bookmarks menu?
Also KDE Bookmark Editor integration have Konqueror, Konsole, Konversation KDE5 apps, according to https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/applications/keditbookmarks/index.html

Unbelieeevable, this is great news, thanks for implementing this!
Indeed, this is great! Patience is a virtue ;D
