Package: nautilus
Version: 3.38.2-1+deb11u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Files which are not present in XDG custom directories[1] (like
Documents, Downloads etc.) or "$HOME" directory as their direct parent
are not "Starred", that's they are not listed under "Starred" files
list. And "nautilus" also doesn't show "Star" attributes of files when
we revisit the directory.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_user_directories#Creating_custom_directories


### Steps to reproduce
* Create a file which is not present XDG custom directory:
    $ mkdir ~/tmp
    $ cd ~/tmp
    $ touch a.txt
    $ open .
* After "nautilus" opens in "~/tmp" directory, "right click" on top bar
  where "Name" attributes is present.
* From list of attributes select "Star" attribute, if already not
  selected.
* Now click on "Star" icon present for "a.txt" file.


### Expected behavior
File ("a.txt") should be listed under "Starred" files list. And
"nautilus" should also remember to show "Star" attributes for files of
"~/tmp" directory, unless and until manually disables it.


### Actual behavior
File ("a.txt") isn't listed in "Starred" files list and "nautilus" also
forgot to show "Star" attributes of files, if we revisit the directory.


Cheers,
K
