Like: .Desktop -> Localized desktop name .Pictures -> Localized pictures folder name And add support for these special folder names. Wouldn't this be something feasible? Just my few points. -Rogue David Zeuthen wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:1171821220.2708.66.camel@zelda.fubar.dk" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On Sun, 2007-02-18 at 12:34 -0500, David Zeuthen wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On Sun, 2007-02-18 at 12:27 -0500, Matthias Clasen wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">On Sun, 2007-02-18 at 12:19 -0500, Ray Strode wrote: </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Hi, </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">So someone last week brought forward the idea of a gnome-filesystem package that put files in /etc/skel.

The big problem here is that people can edit the name of bookmarks. If they do that, well, all bets are off and people are on their own. (We should be able to handle name editing too though - e.g. if I'm in a Danish locale and change the bookmark name to 'Billeder' then the bookmark editor is smart about things and sets it to 'Pictures' since 'Billeder' is the danish translation for 'Pictures'. I'm not sure it's worth the trouble though; if people wants to change the name of a bookmark we probably should respect it even in other locales.) David </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
