Improved windirs.GetWindowsSpecialDir is ready:
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=33133
The submitted patch contains the following changes:
1. Added FOLDERID_* constants, required for SHGetKnownFolderPath.
2. Added mapping of legacy CSIDL_* constants to FOLDERID_* constants.
3. Overloaded GetWindowsSpecialDir to work with both CSIDL_* or FOLDERID_*
constants.
4. Changed GetWindowsSpecialDir to fallback to an alternative API (using
appropriate remapping of parameters) when the default API function is not
available.
Existing code that uses GetWindowsSpecialDir(CSIDL_*) should not be affected,
except for an improved forward compatibility when the deprecated
SHGetFolderPath is finally removed from Windows API, in which case a newer
API function will be used automatically.
I would have preferred that you always use the new function when available, but
since you'd then be doing what Microsoft is already doing, so I won't make
a point out of it. I will apply and test the patch, thank you.
Michael.
