Yes, you have understood OK.

However it's only part of what I wanted.  If I set /home/chris/pictures
as my "Home Path" and set the Start Up Directory: to Home Path then,
yes, when geeqie starts /home/chris/pictures is where I am. But there's
all my other directories visible there too and I really don't want to
see them, they just waste space in the file browser and mean that my
pictures 'home' is indented unnecessarily.

What I want to see in the browser sidebar is:-

pictures
  1960s
  1970s
  1980s
  1990s 
  2000s
  2010s


What I actually get to see is:-

/
  bak
  bin
  ..... loads and loads of other irrelevant directories
  ....
  home
    ben
    chris
      bin
      ... 13 or so more of *my* directories
      ...
      pictures
        1960s
        1970s
        1980s
        1990s 
        2000s
        2010s
      sound
      src
      tmp
    ...
    ... everyone else's home directories
    ... and so on
