Comment 26 for bug 204567

@Conn, sorry made a mistake, set the wrong status. The Status is now set correctly.

As regards to the debate, the user WILL knw where their downloads are, Firefox by default will go to the Downloads folder, but the user can also select another location in the file chooser if they wish. They can therefore see that the folder will be the Downloads folder, and so I don't even feel it is neccessary to make a Bookmark for it.

Also with another papercut being fixed, the xdg folders will now have icons, so it is even more obvious to the user where the download folder is.

This method of not saving everything to their desktop also gets the user in a better habit of not clogging up their Desktop, but also getting used the ne concept of the 'Home Folder' if coming from another OS, I know this is one concept that I had to work out and so having a different folder for Downloads encourages the user to browse around a look at the file/folder structure of their home directory.

Conn is also right when he says "*Just to illustrate the current lack of cohesion, the default image management application (F-Spot) doesn't even use the Pictures folder by default, it tries to save to a non-existent Photos folder..."

This was a papercut which has now been fixed and so we should do the same wioth this bug. It is a non-standard place to save downloads and we should correct it.
