[Bug 486255] Re: amule doesn't use the Download folder for incoming files

[Martin Pitt]

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?
Thanks!

Title:
  amule doesn't use the Download folder for incoming files

Status in “amule” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: amule

  Since Ubuntu Karmic, it's created a "Download" folder in the user's
  home. To add consistency, amule should use it for incoming files.
