nautilus - How to set default Home Music folder in Ubuntu 16.04 - Ask Ubuntu


how 1 set user's home music (and documents, pictures, videos, etc.) folder directory on local partition?

i note other posts suggest editing /home/user/.config/user-dir.dirs substitute, in double quotes (""), alternative path reference (i used /media/user/devicename/dirname/music) fails in 2 ways. first, causes music folder disappear left pane of nautilus. (the folder reappears when original entry reinstated.) second, double-clicking on music folder in right pane not take 1 specified alternative directory.

if home folders have utility, 1 might expect context-menu entry each specify location. let's wish-list item.

any thoughts welcome.

create new "/home" partition, copy folder , files existing home directory new partition mount partition @ home directory. or specially music partition mount existing /home/music directory.
