Table of Contents
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. I usually truncate the original
names, and add a few more directories.
You can find the original /etc/xdg/xdg-user-dirs.defaultsHere<- TODO
You can find the custom /etc/xdg/xdg-user-dirs.defaultsHere<- TODO
TODO add script to grab eg file and replace.
