Guys, question.
I had this problem and noticed the /home/user/.config/user-dirs.dirs damn messed up. thanks to default ENV given, I already corrected it..
What the reason behind user-dirs mess up? *.png/*.jpg file in /home/user ? how in the first place pictures can go there?
Seems like Panorama messed up the /home/user/.config/user-dirs.dirs ?

Yes, for me it was Panaroma app that messed dirs file. I noticed immediately after I installed it and tried how it works - panoramic shots wont appear in Gallery.

Yup Panaroma at installation has the ability to mess things up but it doesn't do it consistently that is what puzzles me...
I've done 3 re-flashes previously to try to prove it and it corrupted once while didn't disturb things the other 2 times...
The one time where i had a real corruption was quite hard to pick on any app in particular as i had taken the last Panaroma pictures at least 2 weeks before the corruption...
soryuuha, if user-dirs.dirs messes up it leads to path $HOME which is /home/user so isn't it obvious that's why pictures go there
The problem with this file is any app including stock app can corrupt it so its more of guessing instead...
To quote my post from here:
So if someone has time on their hands can try to get a corruption with definitive logs to help...

To quote my post from here:
Corruption of ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs is something not related to tracker and could be further investigated by us using block_dump. However, you would need to enable this and wait for the corruption to occur.

I need some help with this. I understand the problem and the fix, but I am having a little problem with the exectution. I have extracted the archived fix, but I don't understand where to put it or how to copy it. I tried to just extract it to and copy from MyDocs, but it wasn't allowed even as root.
I don't know what "root of memory card means" or how the command "cp -f..." could know where to copy from. Obviously I am new to all of this...
Please help!

You just have to download the .deb file from this post and install it on your n9... Once done, and you don't know whether you have done it right, post the output of, from terminal:Code:
cat /home/user/.config/user-dirs.dirs

ok just type in terminal:
now edit the file manually to look like:
Do a reboot and see if the changes stick or not...
Code:
nano /home/user/.config/user-dirs.dirs
Code:

I tried the nano /home/.../user-dirs.dirs - but it says 'nano cannot be found' or something.
Now what?
Install this .deb file
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=137
then cat < /home/user/.config/user-dirs.dirs
if its back to normal, restart your phone.
if you still do not see it, put your phone into mass storage, CUT Pictures folder out of your phone and place it anywhere on your PC.
Restart your phone.
Put your phone into mass storage again, now PASTE the folder back.
You should see it after you unplug your phone from PC.
