[8.4]Howto changes entry's in Places / relocate documents, photo's etc?

[lenn-art]

I've installed 8.04 and it's up and running. The last thing i want to change is the location of Documents that Places is showing. It should point to a different disk, because Windows (dualboot) uses this disk too.

Where can i change the entry's of the places and/or personal folder?

(Gnome, 8.04)

Use the 'Bookmarks' in the menubar in nautilus :)

Uuuh ... is it so simple :-)


It's doing half the job. I want to config all entry's, like 'drive A' and 'drive B'

how i would do it:
just leave the Documents folder in your home empty
add the following line to the end of /etc/fstab


/mnt/partition_of_documents/ /home/username/Documents/ bind 0 0

remember to replace the target partition name ;)

this would make your documents folder point to that partition.

you could bind disk drives/folders/ whatever.

this could effectively give you for example, a same Documents folder for every user.
