Remove localized directory paths#1248

I'd still advocate for removing the omarchy specific envvars. No application will check those. Every application will query the XDG ones. |
but we should offer a way to change the screenshot path right... there is no XDG standard for it. otherwise people will set XDG_PICTURES_DIR to their Screenshots folder, which would be a bad idea |

I think there's a misunderstanding of what those directories are: they define the default locations for their intention. Those variables are used by "every" application. That's like changing the download dir to use some custom envvar, while every program uses the XDG one. You can set XDG_PICTURES_DIR to |

Hm, fine for now but I dont understand it. using freedesktop standards is gonna make this project easier to maintain and to tweak with in the future. |
This is an alternative to: #1244
This PR only removes the localized directory paths from the shell script.
XDG_PICTURES_DIRandXDG_VIDEOS_DIRare equal to$HOME/Picturesand$HOME/Videos. It is good practice not to hard-code localized directory name in scripts.
