Created attachment 177307 [details] Proposal mock-up of adding place entry, where the "Only show when using this application (Dolphin)" is hidden by default. SUMMARY I personally feel strongly that when creating a new "Places" entry, the default should be that it shows up universally. In the past I have gotten very confused why when downloading a file why my place entries do not show up. It's not particularly clear that dolphin and the dolphin looking application that shows up when downloading a file is different, and places are the most useful during downloads in my opinion. Actually, I would go so far as to say that this option should not only not be on by default, but also be hidden for the user by default I made a mockup proposal and will be attaching it.

Git commit b9260f7e357ecc71c68171bbc1ad17e2f6c66299 by Nate Graham. Committed on 17/01/2025 at 14:27. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Default to creating new places items globally The Places panel in general is global, with its contents shared across all apps that use it. However when you manually create a new entry using right-click > Add Entry… the resulting dialog defaults to creating an app-local item that won't be shown in any other apps or the file dialogs. Other methods of creating items such as drag-and-drop create items globally; only this method does it locally. This violates the otherwise-global nature of the Places panel, so it isn't the best default. Let's change it.
