Linux LMDE changing default save location

[rich2005]

There is some info here: https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Settin...save-files

I have a ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs that looks like this

Code:

# This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update
# If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're
# interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run.
# Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped
# homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an
# absolute path. No other format is supported.
#
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Project"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"

...so new Gimp images go to a "Project" folder rather than "Documents".

It might be a bit more flexible that a single redirection, Ofnuts suggests a couple of scripts to set the destination and apply to Gimp.
