Well, I do want to convey to the user that the
Documents folder is unique
to his or her profile, unlike the other shortcuts which point to shared
I think it conveyed well enough by having logged into a personal profile that
uses $HOME.
system resources that are identical across all
profiles. Personally I
like "My Documents", but other alternatives could be "Personal
Documents",
"Personal Files" or similar.
Some people are like me and need none of those as a menu item. We know what
app opens the kind of file we want to deal with, and so open the app, and use
its file picker to choose what to work with.
Speaking of which,
https://bug24625.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=87914 from
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24625 shows the ancient file
picker that is the reason I still use OS/2 more than anything else for
routine chores. Most recent dir, most recent file, and most common dir are
the bare minimum acceptable to me for any systemwide file picker. The time I
waste getting the same file reloaded or into another app, or a sibling file
loaded, on anything other than OS/2 is gigantic compared to OS/2. I thought I
filed a KDE bug about this a very long time ago, but can't seem to find it
now. Maybe I did on Mandriva or Novell's trackers.
