I'm attempting to rename my special folders. As per my understanding, there are two ways to specify this.

  1. Local, ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
  2. Global, /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults

I've changed both locations to my desired configuration. But everytime I do xdg-user-dirs-update, it removes all my settings and rewrites it to point to $HOME.

Why is this happening? I can't see anything in the documentation I'm missing.

Would it hurt me just to disable the feature and make my own folders?
