Hi! Everybody

Some how my side pane places shortcut for Downloads is missing from pcmanfm-qt and Thunar. Does anybody know how to recreate the shortcut? I tried to copy the one from the main pane but it will only copy to the home folder location. I am running Sparky 7.8 bookworm 12. Thanks for your time and help.

To recreate the missing Downloads shortcut in the left pane of pcmanfm-qt or Thunar, you can try dragging the Downloads folder from the right pane to the left pane.
 If that doesn't work, check if the folder is listed in the preferences or settings menu of the file manager.


Or, you can recreate it again manually, editing the ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file and adding the 'Downloads' folder again:

Thanks for your time and help.

You're welcome !!
