Jeremy Wootten (jeremywootten) wrote :

If an XDG directory is changed, the related default bookmark icon just becomes "normal". If a new bookmark is created pointing to the new XDG directory then the "special" icon is used. However, it would be good if the existing bookmark was updated automatically. Note that if the XDG directory is changed before Files is run for the first time or if ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks is deleted or renamed, forcing a new one to be created, then the non-standard XDG directory is used.
