Comment 44 for bug 382703

Just to add my comments to the din-

I think "Foldername", "User's Folder", and then "Home" would be my preference in order. I think adding "folder" is redundant and not needed. As already stated, there is a folder icon already notifying the user that this is, in fact, a folder.

I think using "Foldername" is the best, since the bookmark name and the folder in question will have the same name. Where we can control the shortcut's name, simply using an upper-case letter is an easy thing to do. In applications we don't modify, the folder still has the same name without the capitol letter. This gives consistency within any app that allows the user to brows the /home folder for their particular repository of data. This also avoids using inconsistent translations between languages, since it is clear that "Home" would not be used in all languages.

Using "User's Folder" is impractical, as many applications that offer a file browser will not use the default Gnome browser. Several apps within the repository simply default to the /home or /home/username folder. Again, the above plan would appear consistent to newer users. "User's Folder" would simply fall down in this scenario.

Using "Home" or "Home Folder" to me is not really an option. The directory /home already exists in the LSB specs, and referring to any other folder by that name is a bit confusing to a new user that is exploring. In addition, there are the previously mentioned translation issues and the lack of bookmarks in every file browser dialog for every windowing kit.

Just my two cents.
