Also, most tutorials are in english with english paths in them, so this would allow non-english users to efficiently copy-paste these paths, only replacing the username. I might be wrong, but some less robust apps do not recognize spaces and accents, so having "Desktop" as a secondary path for "Área de trabalho" would help with these apps. This was reported under dolphin - is your proposal that Dolphin perform some kind of translation on its own, or that symbolic links across languages be created in the underlying filesystem upon setting up the XDG user directories? Asking as if it's the latter, that seems like it would be under the purview of https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-user-dirs/ ? I think that Dolphin + File Picker is good enough. Plus it doesn't seem like I can make a feature request there, only issues, incidents, and tasks. But I'll gladly make a request there if there's a way. I created it anyway. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-user-dirs/-/issues/40 What you are asking is outside of dolphin scope. You can yourself created the symlinks you need. cd "/home/user/Área de trabalho/" or cd /home/user/Área\ de\ trabalho/ are easy enough to type and other users might not appreciate to have such symlinks in their home folder. I don't even think that should be handled by xdg-users-dirs. Should I report the issue of folders with spaces not being read as easily like folders that don't have spaces? (In reply to Fernando M. Muniz from comment #8) > Should I report the issue of folders with spaces not being read as easily > like folders that don't have spaces? I don't understand the question, by reading a folder you mean opening it ? cd in the terminal ? You need to be specific. Either cases it seems like a local issue on your hand. Spaces in folder names are not an issue in dolphin, or a problem to use in a terminal. You can use completion utilities for your shell to automatically deal with spaces in folder names. |
