minus-squaredrolex@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoYes, but this is the default on many distros, so for once the end user is not to blame
minus-squareMooseBoys@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoEven worse, many components will ignore the XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR var so even if you manually change it to $HOME/downloads (lower-case) it will often break things.
minus-squarezlatko@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoWhy not just cd $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR in the first place?
minus-squareunalivejoy@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 year agoThat’s not an environment variable. It’s defined in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/user-dirs.dirs. Though you can use the xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD command to get it automatically.

minus-squareMooseBoys@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoYeah but the main issue is that I don’t want there to be a Downloads directory in my home.
