Which directory do I place ringtones and notification sounds in? [duplicate]
asked 2019-05-05 07:53:06 +0200
I want to add a few more notification sounds then are available out of the box (and before someone suggests it, no: adding them as 'music' is not acceptable. I don't want my music library cluttered with ringtones).
On android they have their own folder. I tried adding two .wav files to /usr/share/sounds/*/ (sorry forgot the name of the folder, something with jolla in the name though. It's the same directory as all the other sounds are in) but it does not work.
the folder can be found in this question (duplicate?), but no answer to it...

No need to delete your question and yes, feel free to add your thoughts/comments to the original question
