Doesn't gnome have a policy against wizards? i.e. it should just work?
I don't use audio-podcast and I suspect a large group of rhythmbox users
doesn't use it either. So they have no need for the Podcast directory.
The thing is, if we create xdg-user dirs for all possible directories of
all applications, the default home folder is filled with tons of
folders. If we just stick to a few, like the current situation, some
folders are not translated, others are, other programs need to ask the
user wheter or to create it, etc.
Perhaps for the long term, we should file a bug upstream agains xdg-
user-dirs, do support on-the-fly creation of directories. That is:
xdg-user-dir PODCASTS
-- only returns directories that are defined with and that actually exist
xdg-request-dir PODCASTS
-- is it already defined?
-- Yes: create if it does not exist, return path
-- No: Ask the user, create the directory, return path
xdg-gtk-request-dir PODCASTS
-- same thing as xdg-request-dir but use GTK to ask the user
xdg-qt-request-dir PODCASTS
-- same thing as xdg-request-dir but use QT to ask the user
Then it would be possible to use xdg-user-dirs to support _all_ user
directories of all applications.
Including directories for which no default is set in the locale.
Some graphical tool to manage al that would be nice too.
Perhaps that would merge nicely together with the "default application" capplet?
Last note: shouldn't xdg somehow try to notice the user renaming those folders
and updating its defintions?
Is this even possible?
