If I create a bookmark with Nautilus, its location is stored on ~/.gtk-bookmarks, but not his name. I've created a test bookmark named weirdy, and tried to do a grep on my home for that name, and I found nothing. Where does Nautilus stores bookmark names?

They are stored in the ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks file

In older versions of Ubuntu they are stored in the ~/.gtk-bookmarks file.

The format is:

file:///path/to/folder Bookmark_name

Nautilus from Ubuntu 12.04 is not storing the names in there. However, that will work for storing new bookmarks, just what I needed! Thanks! – Jorge Suárez de Lis Sep 25 '12 at 15:02
