In pcmanfm and Thunar you can add bookmarks of folders to the left bar.Are they stored somewhere in the filesystem as symlinks?Id like to use the bookmarks from other applications (terminal etc.), too.
Where do file managers save their bookmarks?
file manager
No, (at least in pcmanfm) they are not stored as symlinks; they are stored in .gtk-bookmarks, a plain text file, like so:file:///home/jason/Music Musicfile:///home/jason/Videos Videos
