Linux: Use `xdg-user-dir` to get the default Downloads folder path #464

Closed guihkx closed 1 year ago

guihkx commented 2 years ago

Instead of defaulting the Downloads folder path to . (current directory) on Linux, we can instead rely on the xdg-user-dir tool, which should give us a more accurate location for the default Downloads folder.

If the xdg-user-dir output does not give us an actual, existing directory, we just fall back to the current directory, like before.

Hi @tonikelope, sorry for the ping, but would have any interest in getting this merged?

Thanks.

Hi. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I prefer to keep the code as less platform dependent and use Java system variables (although I use ArchLinux). But there is also a problem with the portable version that has to be self-contained and not depend on or write to directories external to the application directory itself.

Thanks for your help and your interest though.

Happy new year.

No worries, that's completely understandable. Let me just close this one then.
