For me, a bookmark sounds like something that the user chose, which is the case only for this first category, and not for the devices that are currently connected. What do you think?

However, I think that we should not rename it to "Add to Bookmarks" because the file dialog still calls the entire thing "Places" and because that might also cause confusion concerning the bookmarks in Konqueror.

Wrong. If the dock widget is now called "Bookmarks", then this name will also appear in the menu entry (as I already mentioned in my last comment).

Would be possible, but has other changes in common see below.

Renaming the category name would implicitly need a rename for the "Add to Places" as well, because this method adds the entry to the places category.
Calling the dock widget Bookmarks or Links or whatever wouldn't be so good concerning that the whole file dialog calls the entire thing "Places" as you already pointed out.
May it be ok to rename the category to "Links" and change the "Add to Places" to "Add to Links" ? Or maybe "Folders" would be the best for both, because that's what will be added there?

I totally agree with you.
