Hi David,
I would prefer to stick to the subfolder data saving method - unless
anyone can persuade me that there is a much better way to go.
In addition to the access issue Sarah mentioned, the problem is
compounded by MacOSX application bundles.
The specialFolderPath function allows you to refer to a folder
generically (eg: "documents", "preferences") and allow the user to
determine the actual folder. AFAIK, both Win XP and Mac OSX, support
multiple user setups; so that the folder one user sees as "My
Documents" is different from the one a different user sees when
logged on to the same computer. I don't know how your app can be
compliant (unless all users share preferences & data) unless you use
the specialFolderPath.
While it's too bad the specialFolderPath arguments are different for
different platforms; but it's still the way to go, sez moi.
