NAME
user-dirs.conf - configuration for xdg-user-dirs-update
DESCRIPTION
The
/etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf
file is a text file that controls the behavior of the xdg-user-dirs-update command. Users can have their own
~/.config/user-dirs.conf
file, which overrides the system-wide configuration.
The following keys are recognised:
enabled=boolean

When set to False, xdg-user-dirs-update will not change the XDG user dirs configuration.
filename_encoding=encoding
-
This sets the filename encoding to use.
encoding
can be an explicit encoding name, such as UTF-8, or "locale", which means the encoding of the users locale will be used.
Lines beginning with a # character are ignored.
