I would like to have a drive bar to select to view a particular drive, such as 
my floppy A: drive.

Thanks for the good work.

Linux doesn't have or use concept of drives. However Sunflower does allow you 
to quickly navigate to all drives. Pressing Ctrl+F1 will show left bookmarks 
menu while Ctrl+F2 will show right one. Bookmarks allow you to easily navigate 
to locations you need. You can also use Alt+1..0 to navigate to bookmarks in 
defined order.

Were you referring to toolbar buttons showing mounts?

Actually, all Ctrl+F1,F2, etc. did was switch to various desktops.

While Linux doesn't like to display the various drives, it is absolutely 
necessary that people be able to access their floppy drive or their CD drive or 
their flash drive in a graphical manner.  Else the whole system will fail.  
Hardly anyone will wish to use it if they must remember /dev/fd0 or some such 
nonsense.

And regarding your question, yes, I believe I was.

Bookmarks menu does provide with access to these. Toolbar does have bookmarks 
button, but it's not as intuitive to enable as I would like them to be.

Can you be specific on which OS your are using?

Yes, it is Fedora 19 with Xfce 4.10.1.

Okay thanks. Can you go to Edit -> Preferences -> Key bindings -> Item list and 
set "Show bookmarks for current list" to a specific shortcut and see if this 
solves your issue. Please note that after setting key bindings you need to save 
and restart the program.

If I understand correctly, you are directing the user (me) to set a keyboard 
shortcut to display them.  However, I would prefer a toggle on a menu or a 
button to select.

There was also a choice of Primary and Secondary, which were both disabled.  
Selecting them just turned one or the other to New accelerator; a little 
confusing to me.

Not trying to confuse you. I am trying to see if the features already built in 
are the ones you are looking for. There are buttons in user interface which 
allow you to do exactly this. Take a look at attached image.

Oh!  I found it!  Sorry about that.  I never used the little down arrow before. 
 I guess it seemed to indicate something other than what I'd use.

By default, I would like to see all drives shown on the button bar between the 
menu bar and the tab bar.  Such would have the benefits of being more standard, 
very intuitive and visually appealing.  And one might as well use the unused 
real estate there.

By the way, I found the preference section to be unintuitive as to how to add 
the Floppy Disk, which it had already found, to the button bar.  The bookmark 
items were not listed there.

Yeah, toolbar has a lot to be desired. Soon I'll start improving everything and 
prepare the first stable release. I agree that bookmarks menu should be more 
intuitive.

Thanks.  Please let me know if I can help with any suggestions or testing the 
layout.

Any contribution is more than welcome. Even if this feature request turned out 
to be already implemented it does tell me that I need to make this option more 
discoverable.
Thank you. I'll mark this feature request as invalid since there's already a 
planned improvement.

If you run into any other problems let me know and I'll help you out. :) Thanks 
again!
