Description AvidSeeker 2023-02-01 03:19:20 UTC 
SUMMARY

Dolphin should respect user config in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/user-dirs.dirs`, by updating "desktop, Music, Pictures, etc" paths to their corresponding output from `xdg-user-dir DESKTOP, xdg-user-dir MUSIC, etc.` instead of having the user to manually `RightClick > Edit > Location > OK`.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Change `XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop` to `XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/my-new-desktop"`.
2. Click on Desktop in Places in the side pane.

OBSERVED RESULT
The file or folder /home/user/desktop does not exist


EXPECTED RESULT
Switch to $HOME/my-new-desktop
