Please use a more future-proof format like is used by saveplace.el,
for example, in ~/.emacs.d/places it's saved as:

  ;;; -*- coding: utf-8; mode: lisp-data -*-
  (("/tmp/"
    (dired-filename . "/tmp/file"))

that allows adding more metadata in future.  Also could you please
add a command to run shell, in addition to the already added eshell.
