There’s a particular high level folder that I use a lot across many applications. I’d like it to behave similarly to Documents/Music/etc. in that it is visible in various applications when I go to browsing. I’m able to add my folder to the file viewer either drag/drop into the panel or through favorites but when I do things like try and open a new vault in Obsidian it only shows me the default folders. Is there a way to add a custom folder so everything can view it in the same way as Docs/Music/etc?
Edit forgot to add: I’m using Pop_OS! with Cinnamon DE
I’ve not tried to add a new directory before, but it sounds like an interesting problem.
I’d start here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_user_directories
This does seem like it’s on the right track. It may be program-specific how those values get used though? So I think the next step is to figure out the common way those values get used by programs and how hard coded they might be
Yes, the program probably should iterate through the list in the file, but they may be hardcoded. Good opportunity to file a feature request for them.
