Re: Re： Failed to change directory $HOME ( (No such file or directory)

Thanks for all responses. I may be wrong, but it seems to me that
$HOME or other environment variables are all supported by KDE file
manager and thunar.

Sounds like no way I can do to make nautilus to support environmental
variables, correct?

Thanks.

Cheers.
