Favorites in PCmanFM

Hi,

I am putting together a new distro that uses LXDE as the only DM. I am having a bit of trouble with getting favorites to stick. When you drag and drop a folder onto the left-bottom window pain in the FM? Is there a file I have to edit to allow this feature or is it a setting somewhere? I'm am using Lubuntu 12.04 as the base for it.

Thanks for any help, John

Are you talking about Bookmarks? Pcmanfm does not have favorites. Bookmarks are added from the bar at the top.

Sorry about that I was in a hurry.

Yes, bookmarks. I am used to Mac's.

I am used to just dragging a folder and then dropping it, I have used the option up in the bar before but found it did not work well. I will give it a shot though.....

Thanks for the reply, John

Drag and drop works with pcmanfm in all my lxde desktops.

That is what I thought but for some reason it does not work on my Lubuntu 12.04, not sure why. It does work in 12.10 how ever.......
