           Summary: Question: Cant integrate $USER Directories in
                    user-places.xbel
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 22.12.3

-pSUMMARY
***
In order to supply system-wide, future-open defaults (/etc/skel) I want to
include something like a generic $HOME-variable (or $USER) in the
user-places.xbel: f.e. should a places-bookmark point to the Documents-folder
of the current user. 
Currently, only hard-coded folder-links like <bookmark
href="file:///home/xyz/Documents"> (for user 'XYZ') seem to be supported, how
could one alter the file to get something like <bookmark
href="file:///$HOME/Documents">? Or is it possible to edit the defaults that
create user-places.xbel in the first place when this file does not exist f.e.
when a new user is added and the user-space gets populated automatically?

***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. add new user to system (f.e. 'xyz')
2. dolphin creates user-places.xbel (from defaults)
3. edit this file pointing to $USER or $HOME (f.e. as default-file usable in
/etc/skel) 

OBSERVED RESULT
when testing an altered user-places.xbel with $USER or $HOME in it on the
current user, the according entries give errors or ar not visible anymore (and
you cannot reuse the file for other users because you have to hard-code links
to the user-directory)

EXPECTED RESULT
user-places.xbel should be open for inclusion of entries working with $USER or
$HOME (dolphin itself does find $USER, but not when clicking on the edited
'place'.
