Hi,

I spend most of my time in CLI, and it annoys me that the default directories in $HOME is uppercase.

How do I go about makeing such files as Download, Documents, Music, Video... lowercase by default? For instance, if i rename "Downloads" to "downloads", and then download something with firefox, the browser does not recodnise "downloads" but creates a new directory called "Downloads" and puts the stuff in there.

This is not a BIG problem, but it sure would be nice with a friendly tip
I am not really sure where the problem is, is it X apps such as firefox (or X itself), or is it a desktop such as KDE..?? (btw, I am running arch, but I have had the same problem on a number of distros).

PS! if there are any crunchbang users out there: #! acctualy has these directories in lowercase by default, any idea how they did that?

Firefox

Preferences --> General (tab) --> save Files to......

Thanks!

This solves the Firefox conundrum. But I would very much like to know what prosses creates the Download, Document, Desktop, Music, Pictures, Public... directories. Is this the work of KDE, and how do you go about configuring this behaviour?

In /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf change
with

Thanks!!
