Guys, we have 5 out of 6 done, so the 6th should just follow what we
have now so that it can be released and we are sure it works fine.
Localisation is very tricky and Bertrand and I are doing experiments on
how Mac is apparently inconsistent.
And if we choose to follow freedesktop.org <http://freedesktop.org>
user-dirs, we can always query the relevant data files to figure out
correct names, whether it's Videos vs Movies vs Filmovi, or Images vs
Pictures vs Slike.

So I'd strongly stick to the above and NOT use directories just
because other free desktop environments do; if anything, we can return
multiple directories (both Movies and Videos). Let's say, if the
alternative directory exists.
This could cause quite some issues with localizations requiring a
multiple indirection, essentially a double mapping which I'd like to
avoid now.
The physical names have to be in English so they can be recognized or a
mapping needs to be done which we don't have right now. That's what mac
and Windows do.
And long term we can have a compile time flag to adopt xdo basedir
spec directories, as well as special user directories.
Yes, but it requires more work, I wills tick to a gradual
implementation. Continuous evolution.
