inconsistent labeling in Thunar

[Book 'em Dano]

Binary package hint: thunar

If one was to open any window using Thunar, the Side Pane lists a shortcut for Download as Download, on the contrary the actual folder is labeled Downloads and the word Downloads appears in the title of the window when the Downloads folder is open and the label, Downloads, is evident when looking in the Home folder.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.

I can confirm this issue in fresh installations of Xubuntu.

Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

This issue is apparent in maverick also.

[Book 'em Dano (heymrdjd)]

It does not appear that this issue is evident in natty.

[Charlie Kravetz (cjkgeek)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Natty Narwhal.

If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please follow the instructions for "How to request new packages" at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#request-new-packages

Nope, if there's a bug, it's in the localisation of xdg-user-dirs/xdg-user-dirs-gtk (one of them is responsible for creating the directories and the gtk bookmarks), not in thunar.

apport information

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

"Downloads" is the correct spelling and not a bug:

"xdg-user-dirs (0.11-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    - Switch DOWNLOAD default to "Downloads" instead of "Download" to
      to match the other names"

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

see bug #204567 which was the bug which asked the renaming

[Charlie Kravetz (cjkgeek)]

Actually, this bug was submitted because Download is not the same as Downloads, and does fail to open the "Downloads" sub-directory in Xubuntu 10.04.
