Public bug reported:
Hello.
It seems to me that the xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update command does nothing at
all.
I want to change the location of the download directory.
So I move the directory with this command:
"mv -v /media/Common/a/Downloads /media/Common/a/BisDownloads"
Then I update my reference file with this command:
"xdg-user-dirs-update --set DOWNLOAD /media/Commun/a/DownloadsBis"
Then I think to inform the software that the directory has changed by doing
this command:
"xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update"
But when initiating a download, it cannot be done with the error message
"...unable to save because an unknown error has occurred...."
Also, the "files" application continues to reference the old directory
as if no update had been made.
I have to log out and log back in to get everything working properly
again.
On the other hand, would it be possible to modify the contents of the file
"user-dirs.dirs"
to clearly say if the modification carried out by the command
"xdg-user-dirs-update --set DOWNLOAD /media/Commun/a/TéléchargementsBis" is
immediately carried out wherever necessary or if it is necessary to make
another additional command or if it is necessary to wait for the next session
launch because the message is not very understandable by saying only that the
modifications are not lost.
UBUNTU version 20.04
Thank you.
