Hello deseven and welcome to the forum!
Currently Favorites list is synchronized with Finder's sidebar:

Hmm, this set of folders is a fallback one, in case getting them from Finder has failed.
This scenario is not usual at all.
Can you please check the Console.app - if there're any messages from Nimble Commander?
Also, what MacOSX version do you use?

My OS X version is 10.11.6.
Here is what i get in Console after launching NimbleCommander:
Seems to be unrelated.
I also tried to run NC via terminal, but there is no output to stdout or stderr.

Right the opposite - this looks suspiciously related!
NC uses exactly the LSSharedFileList API.
BTW, did you hit F1/F2 before opening Console.app?
Any possibility this can be related with this previously-known issue?

Anyway, I can build a special version with detailed logging of that API usage, if you wish.

I didn't have this type of issue (“File Open” dialog is missing sidebar items), but i thought that clearing finder preferences might help.
And yeah, it helped. Everything works fine now.
Oneliner from AD answer which i used:
Code: Select all
cd ~/Library/Preferences && sudo find com.apple.finder.plist* -exec rm {} \; && killall Finder
Thanks for your help!

It stopped working again.
Also it shows my mounted NFS filesystems twice:

Dammit!
Ok, I'll build a version with a detailed debug information for that routine.
Don't like that smell at all - those APIs are deprecated since El Capitan, it seems that a custom favorites manager should be written as quick as possible.

That will be great!
Not just because of the plist parsing problems, but also because it's not really convenient to populate this list from Finder's favorites.
I use favorites in finder to define save locations, since they are shown in a standard save/open dialog. Usually it doesn't have anything to do with my working directories.
