Hi, The gutsy desktop can use xdg-user-dirs and will start depending on it soon, the tool description is:
"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. . The way it works is that xdg-user-dirs-update is run very early in the login phase. This program reads a configuration file, and a set of default directories. It then creates localized versions of these directories in the users home directory and sets up a config file in $(XDG_CONFIG_HOME)/user-dirs.dirs (XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config) that applications can read to find these directories." The default set of directory is: "DESKTOP=Desktop DOWNLOAD=Download TEMPLATES=Templates PUBLICSHARE=Public DOCUMENTS=Documents MUSIC=Music PICTURES=Pictures VIDEOS=Videos" The desktop applications make use of it to know what directory to use. Does anyone has concern about the list of directory or does it look ok to everybody?
