Blueman applet puts received files into /etc/skel/Public/ - vaikus84 - 09-26-2015
Hello Devs
Here is a little something that could be misleading for novice users.
The Blueman Applet 1.23 is set up to put files into /etc/skel/Public/ by default.
So when one wants to find their files that they downloaded via Bluetooth they won't find it in the usual place.
Meaning the /home/user/"Public" location. Instead they would have to know by default that it's set up to put stuff into /etc/skel/Public/ or just
have to be savvy and dig around in the Bluemans app to find the actual used location or look at the pictures properties when viewing it (that last bit helped me out).
Is this going to be addressed in the next version of Linux Lite?
Is there a temporarily fix for this?
Found a hint for a fix. But someone with a bit more knowledge needs to connect the dots here:

I'd just symlink /usr/skel/Public to whatever folder in home I wished, if it was me. Simple.
Example from My AntiX setup on one of my netbooks to make alpha testing re-installs easier.

Thank you vaikus84, I'll have a look into why this is happening and see if we can correct it for 2.8

Hello!
Could you also incorporate the blueman ppa version of blueman and the modified audio.conf file in /etc/bluetooth? Perhaps someone having some background with using Bluetooth could explain a little about it in the user manual (if it isn't covered alreeady)? Working Bluetooth on the LiveCD/USB would be something no one else has...
