Nemo Download folder link missing [SOLVED]

Post by Marcalm »

Hi,

I'm using Mint Cinnamon 18.1, Nemo 3.2.2.
After an update a couple days ago, the Download link folder disappeared from Nemo panel as well on the Local folders on Menu.
The folder is on the place on home path.

I believe it's not a "new feature", so, how do I fix it?

Paste in your next post the content of the file user-dirs.dir inside of the hidden folder .config in your home.

Hi, Marcalm.
In order to post the file content which Cosmo. requested, you can use this terminal commandline:

Code: Select all

cat ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
Mark the complete screen output and paste it in you next reply, please.

Karl

Hi, Marcalm.

Another idea would be checking the defined bookmarks inside Nemo.
Launch Nemo. Open the Bookmarks menu.
Select Edit Bookmarks.
You should see a dialogbox similar to the one below.

(Click screenshot to enlarge. Press <Alt><Cursor_Left> to return here.)

As I have taken the screenshot on my localized Mint, I have added the English translations in round brackets.
On the left hand side you should see the list of (predefined) bookmarks.
If you select one of the bookmarks, e.g. Downloads, the right hand side will display the bookmark label and the pathname which it points to.

Maybe you deleted the bookmark "Downloads" by accident? - Just an idea.

Karl

It's possible I've deleted by accident, but direct on the Panel, but based on what you said I figured out it's needed to open the folder to add back to the Bookmark via Nemo menu.
It's allright now.

Thanks for your help, Karl.

P.S.:
Just for completeness' sake: the content of your file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs looks all right to me, as far as I understand Portuguese.

Thank you Karl, never looked there (bookmarks-edit), every time I sorted it out manually - it ended up in the videos folder again.
