I am pretty sure the reason for the resounding silence on this is that
AppDirs seem to be a ROX invention, and not all that common to run across.
While I have used Puppy Linux, I used the command line for all my file
management needs and don't recall using ROX-Filer.

In support of the possibility that they are a ROX-only feature, when I 
googled "appdir and diricon", I found a page 
(https://docs.appimage.org/reference/appdir.html) in which they do mention 
that ROX-Filer created the AppDir concept.  (AppImage uses AppDirs, but 
not as part of a file manager, rather as a sort of binary package delivery 
system.)

I'm glad that you found a fixed version.

Thanks,
