Description Oliver Henshaw 2009-08-11 22:45:19 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

KGlobalSettings::videosPath() provides a path to the xdg video user directory on linux. Video using apps such as dragonplayer and kaffeine should consider using this directory by default. For example, the file open dialog could be pre-populated by the Video directory rather than the Documents directory.

Furthermore http://lxr.kde.org/search?v=4.3-branch;string=videosPath%28%29 shows that it currently has no users, whereas http://lxr.kde.org/search?v=4.3-branch;string=documentPath%28%29 has a couple that seem more appropriate to video.

Please report this for each application that does not honor videoPath(). I am reassigning this to DragonPlayer, since this is the player included in the KDE Software Compilation.
