This is a module to configure essential paths for the Plasma™ desktop.

Configure some KDE paths

Note

Drives that are automounted at login cannot be used as paths. Such drives will be reverted to defaults during restart of Plasma™.

Desktop path:

The Desktop folder contains all the files which you see in a Folder View widget on your desktop. The default path is usually ~/Desktop but you can change here the location of this folder.

Documents path:

This folder will be used by default to load or save documents from or to.

Downloads path:

This folder will be used by default to save your downloaded items.

Videos path:

This folder will be used by default to load or save movies from or to.

Pictures path:

This folder will be used by default to load or save pictures from or to.

Music path:

This folder will be used by default to load or save music from or to.

If you change a path and click Apply a dialog appears where you can choose to move the content to the new folder or use the new folder without moving the files.
