NB3 I don't believe you can make a symlink as suggested. In fact, you could have both: a symlink and a special icon for your target file. NB2 as an alternative to the above (especially if the "special" icon doesn't matter in particular to you), you could use a symlink. (in fact, oddly, my experiments seem to find that it is usually replaced with $HOME, for some inexplicable reason). Bear in mind in particular that, if at startup it is found that the XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR path actually doesn't lead to a valid directory, the setting for XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR will be overwritten in user-dir.dirs, replacing it, in principle, with $HOME/Documents. No server, no resource-hungry web browser just to take notes, just a good old, blazing fast, lightweight, free/libre and open source native. Years ago I switched to QOwnNotes + syncthing. NB it is not sufficient, as suggested in a comment above, simply to delete the ~/Documents directory for everything to work OK. Agreed SN has been screwing self-hosters (read: unpaid bug-testers) for ages now, blow by blow, while completely flouting the spirit of open source software. log out and back in: whatever its name may be, in both the LH and RH side of Nemo your directory should now have the "special" DOCUMENTS icon! change the value of the XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR variable in ~/.config/user-dir.dirs to this directory, using an absolute path. make a link from the directory you want under "My Computer" in the LH panel of Nemo To give this to a particular directory other than ~/Documents, That's what we're all bothered about: how to give one particularÄirectory a special icon all to itself, signifying "this is your The app also comes with support for hierarchical note. You can create as many notes as you want, organize them into folders and sub-folders, add various text styles and formats, as well as add pictures, lists, and tables to your notes. Responsible, in Nemo, for giving one particular directory a One of the best features of QOwnNotes is the fact that it provides a very good note organization system. It appears that the variable XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR is the one which is Variables are then accessible by the user (or root) as an environment These variables are set in the file ~/.config/user-dir.dirs relate to As at today (7 years later!), my experiments seem to show:
