LXDE Forums

As it turns out this already has been fixed by adding an item to the file menu.

Simply deleting /usr/share/lxde/pcmanfm/LXDE.conf does the job, too. The preferences will then be read from ~/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf. It seems the order the preferences are read is wrong. I'll report this as a bug.

As a workaround I replaced /usr/share/lxde/pcmanfm/LXDE.conf with a symbolic link to ~/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf sudo rm /usr/share/lxde/pcmanfm/LXDE.conf sudo ln -s ~/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf /usr/share/lxde/pcmanfm/LXDE.conf But if there's more than one user account on the machine...

I compiled libfm and PCManFM from a git checkout and am now experiencing problems with the .conf files. When I change something in the Preferences dialogue, those changes are written to ~/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf , but on the next login, the preferences are read from /usr/share/lxde/pcmanfm...

I submitted a bug report:
