Make Downloads "official" bookmark reappear

[cirelli94 (Cirelli)]

Fedora 41 Workstation here.
How can I make the “official” Downloads bookmark reappear?
It disappeared after I deleted everything to be replaced with folders from a backup recover.

I checked:

$ cat .config/user-dirs.dirs
# This file is written by xdg-user-dirs-update
# If you want to change or add directories, just edit the line you're
# interested in. All local changes will be retained on the next run.
# Format is XDG_xxx_DIR="$HOME/yyy", where yyy is a shell-escaped
# homedir-relative path, or XDG_xxx_DIR="/yyy", where /yyy is an
# absolute path. No other format is supported.
#
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"

And done:

xdg-user-dirs-update --set DOWNLOAD /home/$USERNAME/Downloads
xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update --force

And rebooted but nothing changed!

You can drag the Downloads folder and drop it in the bookmarks area.
Or go to Downloads, open the menu on the right of the address bar and click Add to Bookmarks.

It would add it as a bookmarks, not as the default ones above as usual!
Nitpick, I known…

It seems to be in the right place. It’s only that you’re missing the other home folders from the side pane (Documents, Pictures etc).

If you create a new user and log in with that, does it look the way you want?

The arcane has been unveiled! Silly me, I probably didn’t notice this change in Gnome from the recent versions and I thought it was a little nasty misconfiguration.
