So in nautilus there is a starred category for the files you star. The home folder gets messy with all the things ive installed so ive starred my defualt folders such as "Desktop" and "documents" etc. I use special + E to run the command "Nautilus" to open files. Im looking to automatically open the "Starred" category instead. Any solutions? Is there a terminal command that would open nautilus in the starred section?

  • If the home folder is messy, that is because you allow it to be messy. Normally, no things are installed in the home folder by automated install procedures. For manual procedures, you can decide where you install.

Providing the URI starred:/// will open nautilus in the Starred category:

nautilus starred:///
