Hi, Roland, Thanks, got some notice a few hours ago that you've worked on the source code. Great news! Ah, happy new year, mate! All the best for 2026! I'm away from my network system but will do tests as soon as I'm at home again, maybe in one or two weeks. Take care Hartmut

I did install 2.1.1 on Linux Mint manually, so to speak, because Linux Mint only offers an old 1.x version. Yes, to my experience, XFE checks whether the linked network devices are present or not. If not, the bookmarks are not shown. And yes, as you say, when they become available, it needs another or new instance of XFE to run through its detection process and display them. My issue seems to be that under certain circumstances the network drives are connected a bit too late. That's nothing XFE could...

For anyone having weird bookmark problems: Check /etc/xfe/xferc against /home/user/.config/xfe/xferc. I have put a symlink into /etc/xfe so that the system only knows my very own xferc.

I've found out that the problem is based on some weird configuration issue on Linux Mint. It seems as if the lost bookmarks have nothing to do with xfe but with wrong session settings (?). This bug can be cancelled or deleted. Thank you!

I have tested this on a computer running Kali Linux within the same network environment, and xfe has no issues to restore the bookmarks. The problem only appears on Linux Mint.

Bookmarks get lost with every reboot
