In the Unity Dash, when I click "Find Files", it has two sections: "Downloads" and "Favorite Folders", but the "Downloads" section is showing files from the desktop instead of "~/Downloads", which is where Chrome downloads files by default.

Is there any way to change what shows up there? It seems like the actual Downloads directory would be a lot more useful.

You can try checking in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs directory and see if XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR is correctly set there.

  • I've switched to GNOME Shell since I asked this question so it's a non-issue now, but that was the problem, so thanks.
