## Directories

## XDG
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
xdg-user-dirs-update is ran early in the login phase. It reads a configuration
|
||||
file `/etc/xdg/xdg-user-dirs.defaults`. You should replace this file as root
|
||||
before logging in or opening the file manager. Here is the updated file after
|
||||
truncating names.
|
||||
before logging in or opening the file manager. I usually truncate the original
|
||||
names, and add a few more directories.
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
# Default settings for user directories
|
||||
#
|
||||
# The values are relative pathnames from the home directory and
|
||||
# will be translated on a per-path-element basis into the users locale

```

These are not all the directories, just the ones with XDG functionality. Some
|
||||
of the may need to be downloaded.
