Customize Sidebar - allow adding Groups

 * Nemo version (4.4.2)
 * Distribution - (Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia x86_64)
 * 64 bit

Feature

It would be awesome to customize the Sidebar and add own groups, so following use-case would be possible:

My Computer (no changes) Bookmarks (no changes) Devices (no changes) Network (no changes)

MyServer

Images Documents

The folders Images and Documents could act like the other Booksmarks (allow Drag and Drop between groups)

I searched in https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/blob/master/src/nemo-places-sidebar.c but could not find any possibilities to do something like that. (But I'm not really good at reading/writing c-Code)

I've only found the '~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks' but this may won't work.

Actually, not all elements of the sidebar are equivalent. Items such as Home orFile System show a rough indication of data usage. But you can also add items such as Home as a bookmark [nemo doesn't prevent this] - so you have two references to the same thing.

I guess it was a bad wording. I would like to do something like this:

So create a new Sidebar Group "Custom Bookmark Group" and some folder inside.

What about using the Directory Tree instead? You could have your bookmark groups as directories in Home and you could hard link the desired folders under it.

100% support this. I have not used any file manager in either linux or windows that has this feature.

I think a lot of people wont realise how useful this feature is until it's actually implemented.
