Bug ID: 500499
Summary: Dolphin ignores XDG_USER_DIRS infrastructure?
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: 24.12.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: panels: folders
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Per the Arch Wiki-
"xdg-user-dirs is a tool to help manage 'well known' user directories like the
desktop folder and the music folder. It also handles localization (i.e.
translation) of the filenames."
At startup Dolphin shows the users Home, plus the Desktop, Documents, Downloads
etc. directories. These latter "well known" directories are precisely the ones
xdg-user-dirs is designed to manage.
I plan to point all my users "well known" directories to a separate filesystem
(partition) separate from the main OS partition. However, having set up the
test config in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs in my own account, I find that Dolphin
ignores the folders configured there.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Change the configuration of the XDG_USER_DIRS, either by directly editing
~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, or using the KDE configuration "Locations" tool
2.Start Dolphin.
3.The "well known" dirs in the "Places" sidebar ignore the XDG configuration
and instead show the unmodified defaults (e.g. ~/Documents, ~/Videos etc.)
OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin ignores the customisation of well known user directories
EXPECTED RESULT
The Dolphin Places sidebar should be automatically synchronised with the
"Locations" settings, which are reflected in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
