Bug description

As the title said, nemo doesn't display xdg-user-dirs on the left navigation sidebar. The only one that shows up is Desktop.

Steps to reproduce

  • Open nemo through either wofi or typing nemo in terminal

Expected behavior

  • navigation sidebar should show all xdg-user-dirs (photo taken from nautilus)

Additional information

This seems to be a duplicate of #610. Reinstalling and updating xdg-users-dir didn't do anything. Seems like only nemo is affected by this because I tried installing both Dolphin and Nautilus and xdg-user-dirs shows on their navigation bar.

Some extra information:

After researching some online forums, that area on the sidebar is called Places. Some people have had the same issue with it when they change their user-dirs (#1947) which I didn't do. A workaround to this is to make bookmarks of user-dirs. Although not the fix I wanted, it's a good band-aid solution.
