My Templates folder is on removable media which fstab mounts
automatically. When I boot and the media is removed, xdg-user-dirs-
update runs and is moving the path from ~/Templates to ~ when it sees
that the folder is missing. To fix the problem, I had to manually edit
.config/user-dirs.dirs to correct the path to the templates folder.
I don't see any reason for xdg-user-dirs-update to change the path just
because the folder is temporarily missing or moved. The expected
behavior would be that moving the Templates folder would break the right
click > Create Document functionality, and moving it back would fix the
problem, but after xdg-user-dirs-update runs (every boot) the
functionality is broken permanently which is very confusing to the user.
