Description Martin Pitt 2008-01-14 14:47:26 UTC 
F-Spot seems to have ~/Photos hardcoded, which breaks XDG user dirs and its translations:

# /home does not have enough space for my photos, so I keep them on a separate disk
$ xdg-user-dir PICTURES
/mm/Fotos/

# NB that this isn't even covered by a schema
$ LC_ALL=C gconftool -g /apps/f-spot/import/storage_path
No value set for `/apps/f-spot/import/storage_path'

$ f-spot
# do nothing, just close again

$ LC_ALL=C gconftool -g /apps/f-spot/import/storage_path
/home/martin/Photos
