wine doesn't respect xdg user dirs

Post by random_wine_user »

Hi everyone

I'm using wine 2.0 on debian stretch. I have different wine prefixes and for all of them I disabled the links to my user's directory (Desktop, Documents, Pictures, Music and Videos) through winecfg. Despite that, every time the configuration of a prefix is being updated, e.g. after an update of wine, wine insists in creating the Music, Pictures and Videos folders inside my Documents folder. And every time I have to delete them manually.

I have never created these folders inside my Documents folder and there is no configuration file that provides them.

This is my .config/user-dirs.dirs as set up by xdg-user-dirs:

Code: Select all

$ cat .config/user-dirs.dirs
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Download"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Template"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"
As a side note, I'm experiencing this issues since years but I never investigated it. I did a brief research but I was unable to find a bug about this issue.
