[Thunar-dev] places panel plugin ideas

[Jani Monoses]

Hi

I am thinking about the best way of implementing a 'Places menu'-like 
functionality for the new panel using thunar, as it is found in gnome.

It should resemble the desktop menu plugin instead of a launcher but 
have filesystem paths as items, much like what is now in thunars left 
pane. On selecting one, thunar would open at that location, or if 
already running just open a new window as I assume that thunar's small 
startup time and footprint is still beaten by just telling a running 
thunar to open a window.

Another interesting feature would be having a recent documents item 
which would launch entries in ~/.recently-used using thunar-vfs, but I
am not sure if thunar-launcher bits are exported.

These would of course make the most sense after trash/network/desktop 
view are implemented but even now can be a useful starting point for new 
users exploring their filesystem.

thoughts?
