Is it not ?
Why is it set on the SDK so ?

I use this, that should do the trick ...

    docsDir = getenv("MYDOCSDIR");
    if (docsDir != NULL) {
        myDir = g_strconcat(docsDir, "/.documents", NULL);
    } else {
        myDir = g_strdup("/home/user/MyDocs/.documents");
    }

And it looks like a reboot of the device did it ...

Thanks for your time
