Hi,
Note that the new migration assistant available in Ubuntu Feisty Fawn
Herd 4 migrate 'My Music' to ~/Music, etc.
I do not like the idea of virtual folder. A nice feature in iTunes is
the nice renaming of files.
I wonder if we should implement an extended special forlder system that
What about this... (using nautilus) ~/Music is a virtual folder (saved
search) of mimetype:audio, inside you don't see files or folders,
you see albums, click album to see available songs, once you select
some, an add to playlist button appear on top, the button has drop
down menu shows you

Hi,
Just last week I got a bug report and a patch for this in Sound Juicer.
It hard-codes the default location to save files as ~/Music/. Now, my
question is this: do I commit this, or do we need a more powerful system
that handles i18n? I'm sure a Persian GNOME user would not like their

Here a (possibly bad) idea for setting up the default locations for
photos and music:
Use a gconf key to specify the current locations of the Photos and
Music places. The default directories could be localized versions of
~/Music and ~/Photos (my preference), and there could be a control
panel
If Directory names are localized in the GUI do it really matter what
they are called in the filesystem? I mean the whole Unix file hierarchy
is essentially English as it is.
