This command which is executed on the session start ensures that the path some directories such as user desktop, documents, pictures, music, etc. corresponds to the user locale so for example if the user change it's locale from english to another, the desktop user path it's not /home/user/Desktop and the directory Desktop it is renamed to it's locale equivalent. The problem with Dolphin and also in the KDE open file dialog is that it starts on the direcory specified by the variable XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR, in my case it was set to /home/josep/Documents and even if in Dolphin I had another startup folder this one prevailed, also if I changed the Documents folder on SystemSettings when I restarted my KDE session it when back /home/josep/Documents because of xdg-user-dirs-update. So the real fix for this was to edit the file $HOME/.config/user-dirs.update and change the value of XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents" to XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME" But I think the more convenient fix is to see why XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR prevailed over $HOME, or in the user paths systemsettings let to put startup folder for filemanagement. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
