These questions pertain to the Gimp Open Image dialog and apply to both version 2.6.11 on Solaris and 2.8.6 on Ubuntu.

The left side of the dialog contains the Places column which is divided into three sections:

Section A: The Search and Recently Used entries.
Section B: The automatically assigned bookmarks.
Section C: The user-defined directory bookmarks.

Questions:

#1: How can I rearrange the entries in sections B and C? It looks like I should be able to drag &drop them at desired location, but this does not work in 2.6.11 (although, very infrequently an entry will jump to a new totally random position!) and drag & drop actually crashes Gimp in 2.8.6.

#2: In 2.6.11, somehow a few local bookmarks got included in section B, but there is no way to remove or rename them. (The RC menu is greyed out for all entries in section B.) Is there a solution or workaround to edit this section?

#3: I would like to be able to place a few important bookmarks into section B and keep everything else in section C. Is there a way to designate what appears in section B?

#4: In 2.8.6 I had a lot of Samba link bookmarks to image directories on remote filesystems located in section C. However, every time I click on any of these bookmarks they are immediately moved to section B and renamed, now becoming uneditable. Section B has become a mess. Is there a way to stop this behavior.

Thanks for any insights.
