I have a problem! My apologies if this has been mentioned before.
When I go to the "Desktop" folder I can see all my virtual folders such as "my documents", "My Computer" etc plus any other files that may be on the desktop.
When I go to "/desktopdir" it doesn't display the virtual folders, only the files.
Can I change the behaviour so that I can see the "virtual folders" in /desktopdir...?
[quote="leo"]/desktopdir is, by definition, the real directory that contains your desktop files.
If you want to see the virtual folder then go to /desktop instead.[/quote]
Ideally I do want to see the virtual folders but also to retain the functionality of /desktopdir such as "auto-size columns". I guess there's no way of doing this then.
I solved this problem for myself by a simple trick, may be useful for you too.
Make a shortcut of your virtual dirs on your desktop. Now, you will have access to your virtual dirs under /desktopdir.
