Where does Nautilus store bookmark names?

Question

If I create a bookmark with Nautilus, its location is stored on ~/.gtk-bookmarks, but not its 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 store bookmark names?

Solution

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

You can also specify other location protocols such as SFTP, FTP, or SMB:

sftp://username@hostname/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!

Note: some characters are urlencoded in the location name (#, space, ¤, ×, etc.) some are not (+, :, !, (, ), etc.). It's not a good idea to use these in path names, but the distinction is quite curious.

Works for me in 14.04.

The path is same: ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks as Frantique stated, in Ubuntu 18.04 as well.
