(and in fact, i like how xdg doesn't get in the way. i removed the downloads directory and it automatically adjusted and changed to $HOME) Here, i'd propose not localizing and always using "Downloads" as default. Somehow i think that people who don't run xdg-enabled desktop environment won't care about localized directories ;e) My argument is that xdg was designed to solve the localized directories problem, it works and firefox plays with it - so when not present, it should not try to be smart and use a homebrew solution (esp. when the translation in firefox differs from the xdg one, and especially so when the translated string contains a space). I don't see a good usecase where you would want the default be localized and at the same time not want xdg. and out of curiosity: why is the default now Downloads instead of Desktop? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
