Hello friends, Could you tell me where pcmanfm gets the text it uses for the default directory names - 'Documents', 'Music', 'Pictures', 'Video' and 'Downloads' please? After localising the equivalents in xdg-user-dirs those names still show up in English and not the new language. Also, whenever I select one of the default entries in the left pane, the location in the address bar changes to the localised name but pcmanfm gives me an error message that I made an invalid selection and the right hand pane is blank. Are these defaults just the names given to the directories when they were created from /etc/skel? In which case I wonder how one goes about making those names change when you change the current locale? Thanks in advance :-) Regards, Kizito ------------------------------------------- 'common' and 'popular' are NOT the same as 'best' and 'highest quality'. |

It's a file in the /home/user, and you can have it in /etc/skel/.config as well in order to get the new users created have the same configuration, if you wish (in /etc/skel beware that all files belong to root.root or the configurations won't be copied to the new user's directories). $ pwd /home/melode/.config $ cat user-dirs.dirs # This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update # If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're # interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run # Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped # homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an # absolute path. No other format is supported. # XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop" XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/" XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/" XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents" XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/" XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/" XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/" $ Here I have just "Desktop" and "Documents", but as I said you can make it fit your needs.
