I explain : in the "Places" menu, there are shortcuts to folders like "Documents", "Music", "Videos" and so on. These shortcuts lead to the corresponding folder in the user's home.
This is great but we should be able to simply change the folders these shortcuts point to. I don't know if it's already possible but, if it's the case, it isn't as "obvious" as it would be (e.g. add a right-clic menu entry). This is already possible in Windows with the "My Documents" folder, why not in Ubuntu ?
The interest of it is that, maybe the user's documents aren't in their home folder. One short example :
I have an external HD drive, on which are stored my documents. One folder in it has been set to be the Windows' "My Documents" folder, so that when I save files in My Documents, it automatically goes to my HD. I would like to be able to do the same with Ubuntu, but mounting my HD drive as /home wouldn't work because my folders aren't named the way linux does for /home folders. In that case, such an option would be very useful !
Have a nice day
