LMCE in Dolphin's Places

[l3mce]

Thom thought it would be convenient for KDE users to have a folder in Dolphins "Places" generated by the system, so I thought it would be an easy opportunity to write my first bash script. Of course it should have been a perl script, but I spent too much time learning the one to move. So this is my solution. I would appreciate review, laughter, whatever the case may be.
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/attachment/ticket/986/t4.sh

It works. I have tried to make it not work, but it always works. Dolphin is very lenient on order.
It will download an icon set. I will make something nice if people think that is a good idea. I don't get butt hurt at criticism. Thanks for your time.

This is the result of the code. The bottom entry is new, and will generate without any conflicts or odd behavior no matter how many things or separators are there... of course ideally it would be run before Dolphin ever mounted anything.

I have figured a lot out the last few days and would like a more difficult task. Thanks.

Thanks so much. We'll fold this in after we test it a bit.

Was a great place to start for me.

It would be very easy to add quick links to the video/audio folders if you wanted also. Less clicking is less clicking imo. I can also make a dev one which goes to logs etc.

The images should probably live somewhere other than photobucket also... of course if the image does not exist, dolphin is nice enough to make it a blue folder.
