~/Pictures, ~/Downloads, ~/Desktop, ~/Documents, etc. These are some of the only uppercase directories on my system, and I usually type ~/pictures forgetting that the first letter has to be uppercase.
Of course I can rename the folders themselves but then applications that require these folders will not work properly. For example Caja (or Nautilus) displays on the desktop the contents of the ~/Desktop folder.
Where is the configuration file that tells the desktop environment the name of the desktop folder?
The user media folders like Downloads and Pictures also have special folder icons associated with them which I quite like. If I would rename ~/Downloads to ~/downloads the folder is no longer "special" to the file manager.
I guess the question is about specific desktop envrionments and their configuration, but isn't this all usually governed by the FreeDesktop specifications?
So there must be a FreeDesktop configuration file somewhere on the system that all applications go through when they want to find my Pictures or Downloads or Desktop folder.
Where is that configuration file?
