nothing wrong with how i choose to view the desktop and you damn well know it. If you can"t be of help staff or not stay out of the thread.

the below solution worked well for me:

You just have to give the starter the desired path, i.e.

Code:

nemo /path/to/desired/directory

If you want to change the nemo.desktop, first copy it to your home directory

Code:

cp /usr/share/applications/nemo.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/

open it

Code:

xed ~/.local/share/applications/nemo.desktop

search for %U in section [Desktop Action open-home], replace the "%U" after the call with the corresponding path e.g.
Exec=nemo /home/username/desktop

Could you please explain how I create a shortcut to Nemo, so I can try this.

I would also like Nemo to open in a specific directory (Documents) rather than home.

Also is it possible to have multiple shortcuts that open in different default locations?

Thanks!

pcmanfm you can set the default directory to open to in the settings.

I just installed this but I cannot find a setting to do this.

Would you mind pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks!
