           Summary: video applications should consider using the video xdg
                    user directory (KGlobalSettings::videosPath() )
           Product: kdemultimedia
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-multimedia at kde.org
        ReportedBy: yoho_ahoy at hotmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

KGlobalSettings::videosPath() provides a path to the xdg video user directory
on linux. Video using apps such as dragonplayer and kaffeine should consider
using this directory by default. For example, the file open dialog could be
pre-populated by the Video directory rather than the Documents directory.

Furthermore http://lxr.kde.org/search?v=4.3-branch;string=videosPath%28%29
shows that it currently has no users, whereas
http://lxr.kde.org/search?v=4.3-branch;string=documentPath%28%29 has a couple
that seem more appropriate to video.
