I don't think that recommending `window.requestFileSystem(3,...)` is the
right way to go here. Off the top of my head, I can think of two better ways to
access these extra filesystem roots:
1. Use a `cdvfile://` URL:
resolveLocalFileSystemURL("cdvfile://localhost/library-nosync/",
function(entry) {
// Successful, use entry
}, function(err) {
// Error, do something
});
2. Use the `cordova.file.*Directory` properties:
resolveLocalFileSystemURL(cordova.file.dataDirectory, function(entry) {
// Successful, use entry
}, function(err) {
// Error, do something
});
Both of these could be better-documented (one requires you to know how to
construct a cdvfile: URL; the other requires you to now that `dataDirectory`
maps to Library-nosync). I don't want to add instructions that tell people to
hard code the magic constant `3`, which is, as you say, likely to change if the
config preference changes.
