Investigation revealed that $XDG_PICTURES_DIR and $XDG_VIDEOS_DIR are set to $HOME and this is where Ruqola wants to store files. And `Video` and `Picture` paths seem to be distinguished from cached files, so perhaps I need to reconsider my expectations here. I would still expect Ruqola to use a parent folder called Ruqola, though. Otherwise a normal user has no way of associating this unexpected folder with the use of the client. it's a problem from $XDG_PICTURES_DIR and $XDG_VIDEOS_DIR for your distro as usual we use Picture and Video as folders. You will have the same problem for each apps which use this two environments variable. I think it's a problem as your distro doesn't define this variable. After adding ruqola as toplevel why not but too bad that these variables are not defined.

Right. Investigating distro defaults is beyond Ruqola. This just caused my initial confusion. It wasn't previously available for SUSE, so teething problems are to be expected :-D > After adding ruqola as toplevel why not but too bad that these variables are > not defined. Imho it would be best in all cases to make it clear what app saved these photos and videos. This is the first app I'm using that doesn't use its name at all here. (In reply to Christian Dywan from comment #1) > Investigation revealed that $XDG_PICTURES_DIR and $XDG_VIDEOS_DIR are set to > $HOME This is likely just your specific settings, I'm on same distribution and the defaults are to my language specific Videos / Pictures folders. If you have removed those directories while they were empty, they have been automatically modified to point to just $HOME in your .config/user-dirs.dirs - but the defaults are eg $HOME/Videos and $HOME/Pictures.
