If we switch to this scheme we should give the user the possibilty of choosing if he wants the default-folder structure or if he wants to define some of these folders himself. Furthermore: What if a user changes the name of one of his default-folder via a terminal? Perhaps this could be intercepted with inotify? - -- Christian Nolte mailto:ch.nolte@xxxxxxxxxx key : http://www.noltec.org/christian-nolte.asc or : www.keyserver.net GPG-fingerprint: 1088 6C2D 1496 0A34 D159 1108 08D8 C0D2 77E1 5BBC - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more than 4 generations the IT Professionals were the guardians of quality and stability in software.
