i see this clearly as a bug, see newly added duplicates. important comments from there:
---------------------------- i have deleted my templates folder and nautilus does not handle this very well. clicking on "Go->Templates" brings me to my home folder. (that is at least consistent with XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/" line from .config/user-dirs.dirs) however this setup is not very useful because i most certainly do not want to have my templates in my home folder (or put it the other way round: all my files as a template). and secondly, it does not work, i.e. even the files that are in my home folder are not available as templates... i suggest that a non-existent template dir should not be changed to $HOME and i should be offered some assistance when clicking on "Go->Templates" in this case. ---------------------------- ---------------------------- for future reference: i wrote up how to fix an accidentally deleted folder: http://nailor.devzero.de/blog/archives/26-fix-broken-gnomenautilus-template-folder.html ---------------------------- -- Deleting ~/Templates and rebooting makes a change in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285998 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
