Here’s how to fix this[+]

Create $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs with

XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR=“$HOME/downloads”

You may need to logout/in for things to reread this file.

The full list of keys is:

  • XDG_DESKTOP_DIR
  • XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR
  • XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR
  • XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR
  • XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR
  • XDG_MUSIC_DIR
  • XDG_PICTURES_DIR
  • XDG_VIDEOS_DIR

+: Since this is Linux, this is a fix for many but not all cases.

XDG User dirs are cool, i agree. But that’s not really the problem here
