Nemo doesn't seem to use xdg-user-dirs in Lubuntu 14.04

Post by scott092707 »

Hi.

I have been using Nemo successfully in Lubuntu in 13.10, and my defined xdg-user-dirs appear in the sidebar just fine.

Now, I have installed Lubuntu 14.04, and Nemo doesn't show any of my defined directories.

Enough of my other apps show my defined directories that I can be confident that Lubuntu is running the program that looks up my xdg-user-dirs.

Something must have changed in Nemo, that it no longer uses (or at least displays) my defined dirs.

Before, it was one click in the side-bar for my documents, or music or ...

Now, since I have my personal data in a separate partition, I must:
Click on FileSystem, double-click on data, double-click on Scott, and finally double-click on Documents (or Music or...).
If I have finished doing something with a document, and want to look at my music, I have to go through the whole rigmarole again.

Am I missing something - some option I need to set, perhaps - or is this a bug?

nemo 1.8.4

I am not sure which version of Nemo I was using in Lubuntu 13.10.
[Other than the fact that I was up to date on any/all software-updates.]
If someone feels that it is vital that I provide that info, I can boot from that version and find out.

P.S. By the way, I find in 14.04 with this Nemo, I no longer am required to install the Cinnamon desktop, et al. - just Nemo and a few other minor pkgs. Thank you!

I posted this in Linux Mint forum because Nemo originated as part of Cinnamon, a desktop of Linux Mint.
It is usable elsewhere, like Lubuntu, but since it originated in Mint, there are more people using it and developing it there...
