[PATCH] Default to XDG Download directory for downloaded files
Reported by: | lkundrak | Owned by: | charles |
---|---|---|---|
Priority: | Lowest | Milestone: | |
Component: | libtransmission | Version: | 1.50 |
Severity: | Normal | Keywords: | |
Cc: | kab |
Description
Use the XDG download directory for downloads instead of made-up unusally nonesixtent ~/Downloads (fall back to it in case there's no XDG user dir configuration).
This was stolen from gthumb, though it probably originates from xdg-user-dirs's xdg-user-dir-lookup.c. See: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-March/msg00677.html
And no, there's no library for XDG dirs.

Comment:
Transmission should check if the file .config∕user-dirs.dirs is readable and not necesserly throw an error if not. The problem is when you start transmission-daemon as an other user, transmission tries to read .config ∕user-dirs.dirs of the user logged in. This will always throw an error like:
[18:42:09.716] Couldn't read "/home/sampleuser/.config/user-dirs.dirs": Permission denied

kab: actually in this instance it seems like it would be a good idea to log the error. If /home/sampleuser/.config/users-dirs.dirs isn't readable, then the fallback download directory of /home/sampleuser/Downloads probably isn't reachable either...
