The very fact that ~/Desktop disappears because it is renamed ~/Bureau is so full of hazardous and possibly severe consequences that YES YES YES it must be considered a bug. I just mentioned a few cases; they would fill a book. Of course, only those whom some people call foreigners (who renamed their Desktop) actually *see* the consequences of the problem (assuming they do not just shiver). But that doesn't mean the other ones do not *meet* the problem, and here is a good example. Every time someone writes "cd ~/Desktop" in sample code on the Web, and even worse in a script, they're doing a BIG MISTAKE. They should explain that French people must type cd ~/Bureau, Russian ones cd "~/работая стол" etc, even more complicated for the script.
Making a symbolic link instead of renaming is so obviously the solution (allowing to use either ~/Desktop or ~/Bureau) that I wonder why the only answer to my bug report is not "Gosh, you're right". Again, I do not see at all what is "Incomplete", the report is self-explanatory. And, once again, it is not *my* case, it is *the world's case*. I'm not reporting the bugs for myself but for the sake of Ubuntu. In fact, despite I speak French and as unforeseen as it may be, I run my session in English. But I've got Russian, Spanish and Romanian in other sessions, and that's great !!! -- "Update standard folders" should add language links to folders, not rename them https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to xdg-user-dirs in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
