[Bug 486255] Re: amule doesn't use the Download folder for incoming files
I also mailed pkg-amule-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org. Sandro Tosi responded that this bug is also in the debian bug tracking system: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=409068 They have forwarded the bug to the aMule.org years ago but until today, there is no follow-up on the bug... I still want to change the folder. Will the patch be implemented - even maybe only in the Ubuntu repository - if I change the default folder to ~/aMule? This way, there is a hidden '~/.aMule' for the settings and partial downloads and there is a visible ~/aMule witch contains all the shared files. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #409068 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=409068 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486255 Title: amule doesn't use the Download folder for incoming files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amule/+bug/486255/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 486255] Re: amule doesn't use the Download folder for incoming files
I read it and I understand it. But Download isn't a good choice. The aMule will share all of your files in the Downloads folder. I wouldn't want that and I think most of the users wouldn't neither... I also posted a bug report on the forum of aMule: http://amule.forumer.com/ubuntu-bug-486255-download-folder-not-in- amule-t2343824.html#p20695894 Apparently the folder was already changed for Windows and Mac but not for Linux. I'll do a follow-up of my bug-report on the aMule forum. I think that they'll change the folder from ~/.aMule/Incomming to ~/aMule Downloads like on Windows and Mac. So I want to propose that in the linux code, the folder will be named "~/aMule [xdg-user-dit DOWLOAD]".

[Bug 486255] Re: amule doesn't use the Download folder for incoming files
Hi Dadio, nice to have you working in the bug, thanks! The common folders in a default Ubuntu installation follow the XDG common folders specification. This allows apps to behave consistently and have different folder names depending on the user's locale. So, the advised "Downloads" folder should be that returned by the "xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD" command. In a program that uses glib you can also use the function g_get_user_special_dir (https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Miscellaneous-Utility-Functions.html#g-get-user-special-dir) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486255 Title: amule doesn't use the Download folder for incoming files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amule/+bug/486255/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 486255] Re: amule doesn't use the Download folder for incoming files
I intent to work on this bug. I'm new en found this bug in Harvest. This bug is not verry active, so I think I have the time I to investigate how to manage bugs, deb-packages, patches... I've checked with a fresh installation of amule on a Saucy installation, it stores music in ~/.aMule/incomming In perspective of accasibility, I agree with this bug report. A normal user wouldn't look for his downloads in a hidden folder. But the folder Downloads isn't logical neighter. Your aMule downloads will be mixed with the normal downloads (ex firefox)... Who should I ask to help me pick the right folder? (I think 'Music' makes more sense but a seperate visible folder 'aMule' would to) For now I didn't got a answer from the aMule community, but will it be ok just to make a Ubuntu patch without implementing the patch upstream (should they choos to keep the current folder)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486255 Title: amule doesn't use the Download folder for incoming files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/amule/+bug/486255/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 486255] Re: amule doesn't use the Download folder for incoming files
I'm afraid this is not the right approach, as it doesn't take into account the user configuration nor works in non-English languages where the folder is translated. Please see http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs for how to determine the directory; if your program uses GLib, you can also use the more convenient http://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.30/glib-Miscellaneous-Utility- Functions.html#g-get-user-special-dir If you have a patch, can you please forward this to upstream first?
