I have a small problem (actually pretty much the only thing wrong with Mint 17 anymore.)

As you can see in this picture, the bottom menu "Places" (sijainnit) does not include what it is supposed to. There should be also documents, downloads, music, pictures and videos. How do I make it to contain these?

Second question, how do I add my own folder-shortcut to the Caja window (and also this Places-menu), in Mint 13 it was just drag and drop. Those in arrow 1 were identical in Mint 13

In smaller picture on the top right (Ubuntu 14.04) everything is where it is supposed to be.

Perhaps you simply need to add those folders to your bookmarks in nemo (nautilus substitute in Mate) as that certainly adds them to the nautilus Places menu

Aaaand how to do that? O.o

Wait, Now I found a way, went to that folder I need to make shortcut of and added to bookmarks, now it shows in "PLaces"-Menu and in Caja.

BUT I still do not have --> documents, downloads, music, pictures and videos in that Places menu. How do I edit that?

If I do what I just did, then I can see double of everything in Caja.

Well, it seems that when I add "documents, downloads, music, pictures and videos" to the bookmarks, they are not added twice in caja, but they are indeed added to the Places-menu. Problem solved.

Btw, Nemo seems to be in Cinnamon, not in Mate.
