I tried to download Facebook Friends Photo with the FacebookDownloadFriendsPhoto(index) function. Login works fine and I'm getting a valid FacebookGetFriendsCount() number as well as good friend ids and names. But after using the photo download function, I'm not able to find the image file like descriped in the help section...
I guess that I'm trying to find the file in the wrong folder...
How to setup the right folder?

Thanks in advance!!!

It's not the question that I can't see it with a filemanager, the problem is that the program can't find the image file with "getfileexists()".

what szFile parameter u give GetFileExists(...) ?
if your app is running you find the file with filemanager?
u should verify first if it is in filesystem.
maybe its above media folder in "user documents"?

Ok, got an answer from Paul.....
The photo file has to be addressed like: “/FBxxxxxxxxxProfile.jpg”
So actually the "/" was missing.....
Would be good if the help documentation could be updated too.

Special note!
On android these are stored in the media folder, but on iOS they are stored in the directory above the media folder...
So what I do is simply check both folders for the image.
Also, if you grab the friends list twice within the same session you will get duplicates on iOS. I copied all the data into my own array to remove duplicates, but you could similarly make sure you only call it once per boot up.
