I am using data files in my application to keep like a little database. It is actually working pretty good, except I have not been able to see my files in any location I want them to be.

What do I need to do to put them next to my program or in media folder like an image>

thanks

Put them in the media folder, or a sub folder within the media folder. If you use opentowrite() the file will be saved in my documents\agk. So you cannot overwrite existing files.

BTW, if there is a file in the AppGameKit folder will load instead of one with the same name in the media folder. However, this is not the case with the Android player which uses the same folder for both.

If you are on Windows you can use SetRawWritePath() to change the write path to anywhere on the file system.

Thanks got it to work, had to move images also with it. Also had to set r/o on images files they kept getting deleted when I would compile. Strange behavior but it is working.
