I noticed these new directories also on my upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy. (The official release from Oct 18.) I found some info:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=482045 http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs And it sounds like you should be able to modify ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs to point to your preferred directories, but so far I haven't had any luck. For example, let's say I modified ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs with: XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/doc" And removed "~/Documents". The Documents item no longer appears in the Places menu, nor in Nautilus, nor in File "Save As..." dialogs. This is true also after running xdg-user-dirs-update, after logging out and back in, and rebooting. I also tried modifying /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults with no luck. -- New 'Documents', 'Pictures', etc. folders ignore current folders of the same/similar name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/138924 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
