See FileCase issue #15: It is all @flypig’s fault.
More seriously: IIRC, in spring 2022 he transferred the formerly hardcoded user home directory to a variable, which is read from FileCase’s configuration file, and altered the homedir from /home/nemo
to /home/defaultuser
, because that suits most people better, nowadays. By this measure, one can easily set the homedir (called “Phone Memory” path in the GUI) in a single location, the aforementioned config file: This was a big step forward!
What is missing, is a GUI dialogue to switch the homedir. PRs are welcome!
How to alter the default homedir manually, which can be carried out with FileCase, is also described in detail in FileCase issue #15.
P.S.: @rainemak, thank you very much for featuring FileCase. NB: Well, trivially bailing out of SailJail is not really what I would call “a proper SailJail configuration”; PRs for a really proper SailJail configuration are very welcome. The same applies to fixing FileCase issue #4 (updating FileCase to use the current DropBox API) and checking plus documenting in a GitHub issue if the other web-storage options still work well: Box, Google Drive, OneDrive, WebDAV (used by e.g. OwnCloud / NextCloud)
P.S. / edit (2023-11-05): @simonschmeisser provided an easy to use and likely better, automatic solution by FileCase PR #14. Thanks!
