Public bug reported: The Documents and the Templates folders (and maybe also the Pictures foldes used by gnome-screensaver) path should not be hard-coded, at least because not everyone speaks english and understand what these folders are.
Documents and Templates paths should be configurable at least with gconf, or (better idea) in a similar way as you can configure preferred applications. Manually create a shortcut for a "custom" Documents folder on the desktop is not an option, because, by the way, the Documents entry in the Places menu will be wasted. Last but not least... there is an i18n problem... clicking on the Documents icon (which is translated... Documenti, Dokumente, etc.) opens the Documents folder, which can confuse users. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed -- Documents/Templates/.. folders path should be customizable https://launchpad.net/bugs/45818 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
