script to move desktop icon to desktop/escritorio, how to know language?
 

Hello,

when making a script which puts a launcher to the desktop we don't know which language is installed on the workstation.

in english ~/Desktop
in spanish ~/Escritorio
and so on


It is possible to get information about where the 'Desktop' is?


thanks

Usually this is set up in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

Using 'grep' you can get your exact path.

Or use this variable, like

cp 'your launcher' $XDG_DESKTOP_DIR

i do not have the envar you are talking about, but i do have ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

many thanks.

Well, may be it's not the best way, but it works for me:
