    @MartinB - thanks. Eventually I will get around to adding a GUI for the preferences. I have another applet or 2 I am working on and I want to finish those first.

    Good applet, I dont know if its asking a lot but for the app to be able to sync firefox bookmarks and update regularly to reflect any changes made within firefox would be awesome

    Hey. Really great app. I've enhanced it, so you can start programs directly. You just need the prefix cmd:// (cmd://firefox i.e.). Perhaps you want to see that sometime and enhance your app. Simple App. Great Job!

  7. mbokil says:

    @vonZnotz the MyLauncher applet already does this. I broke mybookmarks and mylauncher apart just to have another menu for bookmarks and places. If you want to launch script and apps then mylauncher would be a better fit for your needs.

    Rated 5 stars. Excellent applet, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

    Hi, mbokil! Awesome applet, love it! I need just one further thing to make it perfect: how do you make it open places with nemo, instead of nautilus, by default? Do I have to edit a line in the applet.js file, or is it a simple default program option I have to modify in my whole system? Thanks! BTW, I'm running Cinnamon 1.6.4 on LMDE 201204.
