I am trying to add skins to audacious, but I can not move any folders to the audacious themes/skins folder. Ive watched several videos where the themes/skins folder is opened as an administrator on other iterations of linux but i am unsure how that translates to me.
I am using Zorin.

Hi hi. Where are your files located and where are you trying to move them to?
And how are you trying to move them?
brisk storm
I have two seperate windows open, one being my downloads which have several themes that im trying to move to the other window. The second window is audacious's "skins" file
Ive mostly tried to just drag it over. Im able to move a folder from window to window, but not specifically to the skins file
ive attempted copying/cutting and pasting the folders i want to move and using "move to.." but neither seem to work

Can you provide the full path of the place you're trying to move them to? Or to the guide you're following?
Ok, I found it
Move the skins to: ~/.local/share/audacious/Skins/
Move the wsz or zip files there

Can you provide the full path of the place you're trying to move them to? Or to ...
computer / var / lib / flatpak / app / org.atheme.audacious / current / active / files /share / audacious / skins

You won't need admin privileges
brisk storm
Move the skins to: `~/.local/share/audacious/Skins/`
im usnure where to put this
i believe it goes in the terminal but i attempted using just that line and was told the place doesnt exist
does something come before/after ~/.local/share/audacious/Skins/?

oh, this is a flatpak

It's all good. I'm looking up the stuff I don't know at the same time
So it looks like the home directory folder that you'll want is ~/.local/share/flatpak
So that means open your file manager and find the folder .local in your home directory
It will be a hidden folder, so you might need to press ctrl+h to show hidden files
(hidden files/folders are ones that start with a .)
~ just means /home/yourusername
brisk storm
so what am i looking for under .local?
i believe is aw something online prior to me coming here about the audacious folder just being under .local but it isnt there for me
Ive explored all of the folders in .local but none of them seem to lead to audacious
this is what that particular directory has in it

I'm not 100% sure on this, but if it's the same file structure then you'd need to create the folders: app/org.atheme.audacious/current/active/files/share/audacious/skins
Someone else familiar with flatpaks might want to verify that though
If it is correct, then you can open a terminal and copy and paste this into it and press Enter:
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/flatpak/app/org.atheme.audacious/current/active/files/share/audacious/skins
That will create all of the folders for you
But yeah, it will probably be best to wait for someone who uses flatpaks regularly
brisk storm
that does create the folders but they dont actually correspond to the audacious app
grim harness
computer / var / lib / flatpak / app / org.atheme.audacious / current / active ...
that's what you gave here, just with the front part changed
brisk storm
i think i mean to say that the created files dont actually change audacious, theyre just a copy
