That happens to me, too. Thunar is my (Xfce4) file manager. ALWAYS
takes my brain a second to realize where my partition has wandered off
the charts to. I've just this very second finally figured out how to
compensate for it with Thunar (k/t StackExchange):
Right click > Send To > Side Pane (Create Shortcut)
Is there any chance that Nautilus has that feature? I've used it/LOVED
it in a file manager other than Thunar, just can't remember if it was
Nautilus or Dolphin. If it's available, it may also be called
"bookmark" as an alternative..
