https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=599476#c2 --- Comment #2 from expe bition <[email protected]> 2011-03-04 20:50:28 UTC --- After posting the above comment, I found specs "System.Environment.SpecialFolder Enumeration": http://www.go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?link=T%3aSystem.Environment.SpecialFolder which define SpecialFolder.Personal as "The personal or home directory for the current user. On non-Windows operating systems, this is the user's home directory." They also mention Personal in the comments of other members. In this light, it seems that my comment earlier today should be rethought. The issues are: * Microsoft Silverlight on OS X implements MyDocuments as $HOME/Documents but Mono implements the same as $HOME (detailed by Jacob Page in Bug 597907) * Mono does not provide a way to retrieve $HOME/Documents * the Microsoft documentation (linked in above description) states that MyDocuments is the "My Documents folder", which aligns much better with $HOME/Documents than with $HOME * Mono returns different results for Personal on OS X vs. MonoTouch, which seems counter-intuitive (see Bug 537947) The solution to all of these issues is to point MyDocuments to $HOME/Documents but leave Personal as $HOME. This change would not break existing code which relies on Personal and is consistent with the Mono specs (linked above) which, for MyDocuments, state, "Documentation for this section has not yet been entered". -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
