Wouldnt it be common sense to put the thunar bookmarks ABOVE the rest ?
I mean how often do i need to click on the floppy disk versus my own bookmarks?
Windows puts bookmarks first too.

I dont see the point of keeping "Desktop" around. I never need it. I have 20-30 bookmarks, I really need the space. I also dont need the default /Home path

@hio you can already hide fixed disks from the side pane by adding  the `x-gvfs-hide` option to your partitions in /etc/fstab or in your disk utility [1]

You can hide "Desktop", "Home", ... and default GTK bookmarks from the side pane by commenting out their entries in `~/.config/user-dirs.dirs` [2]. For example to hide the desktop you would comment out (put a # in front) of `XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"`. Changes will take effect th next time the Thunar process is restarted.

Would be nice to have the info somewhere on https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/start before closing it.
You can request an account on #xfce-dev on IRC (freenode), or via  the mailing list.

This is documented at https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/the-file-manager-window

>  If your Side Pane starts to get too cluttered with devices and shortcuts, you can temporarily hide items be right-clicking on an empty area of the pane and unchecking the ones you don't need to see.

Yea, I just took a try myself .... looks like you actually can hide every single item from sidepane like that .... brings me to the question why it should be required to do it the way you  proposed in comment #2  (actually that was the info I missed in the wiki, but well, if it actually is not required, than the current wiki should be sufficient)

Thanks for the hint !
