I love this gnome shell extension, i'd like to ask you if it's possible for the ssh part to use the ~/.ssh/config file ?
I use this to have all my host and may be it could be great that the extention read the file and then add all the host ?
some exemple of the config can be found here : http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/1625/Using+a+SSH+Config+File
If it's not possible it's not a problem :)

These work fine in the Nautilus bookmarks menu, and they worked fine in the old GNOME 2 places memu, but they don't show up in this extension.
Is it possible to add support for them?
Thanks for this great plugin!

I have custom names setup for my user directories in user-dirs.dirs (Musik, Dls, etc)
I'm wondering why it isn't working.

If I install 1.5.3 on Ubuntu, the preferences dialog no longer comes up (so I can't tell if the Actions bug is fixed).
Thanks

The option to open filesystem as root saves me some time and effort.
The actions menu is great - I just recently upgraded from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10, and was quite shocked by the changes from GNOME 2 to 3, especially the loss of the launchers I used to have on my panel for different scripts. :( But hooray, I can now have those scripts in the actions menu! :)
Adding items to the actions menu is currently broken for me, as I'm on the 1.5.2 version from Webupd8's PPA, but I see you've already fixed this in the newest update. I imagine Webupd8 will have 1.5.3 up soon enough.
As it happens, I'm also a user of both VirtualBox and FileZilla, so this tool has fit very well into my usage patterns. Thank you for making this!

To fix this, you could use this in the "nautilus-root" file:
pkexec /usr/bin/nautilus --no-desktop /
And I also have a question: I would like to upload this to the WebUpd8 GNOME3 PPA but there's no license... I assume it uses the same license as the original Places Menu extension, right?
Thanks!
