    In the file browser one can right click on say 'Music' and select 'Properties'. An absolutely fantastic feature that Windows has and Deepin lacks is the ability to change the location of the 'Music' (and other Library) folders. A common use-case for this is when people install Deepin on a fast SSD and store their music, videos and pictures on a larger mechanical HDD.

    Hi, you could suggest this feature in Deepin User Feedback under I have a good idea. Deepin's own file manager is still under development and will eventually replace Nautilus.

    The custom File Manager sounds like fun. I imagine that won't make it into 15.2, being a big project. Any ballpark timeframe? Couple months? Couple years?

    They are into uncharted territory and its hard to reply with guesstimates as they don't seem to have a release schedule.

    a symlink may do the trick.

    Thanks laoguang . I've done that for myself. I'm hoping to help Deeping become very accessible.
