[SOLVED] default document path problem

[g.]

Hi,

if I modify

System Settings -> About me -> Paths -> "Document path"

it uses my value for the current session, but it it does not store my modifications and when I restart it always use the its default ($home/documents).

It is a bug? how can I make my changes permanent? what is the file to modify without the graphical interface?

Thanks,
g.

Re: default document path problem

I think that all these problems of no preferences being saved must point to a disk permissions problem. Somehow your changes are not being written to the appropriate files.

Re: default document path problem

do you know also what exactly is the file to change?

the simplest way is to modify it via konsole with a sudo command

Re: default document path problem

I don't know which specific file that parameter is stored in, but since you seem to be having this problem with many KDE apps it almost certainly involves ~/.kde or ~.

Maybe it is "XDG Home Dirs spec". Earlier > XDG Home Dirs

There is ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and it has

XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"

that's it! thanks.

however, I have also searched the default path for the specific kfind application but, again, I have not find it...
