Any chance of adding:

GetDrive
GetDriveCount
GetFirstDrive
GetNextDrive

Trying to create a file requester but realize there are critical components missing. Anybody know of a work-around?

Thanks

Going back to the original principles of AppGameKit, apps were supposed to be encapsulated in their own folder, like they would be in Android or iOS. So I guess they were never needed.

In Windows we can now get out of that folder, so it would make sense to have these commands. They would need to be GetRaw... commands because they are specific to Windows (and maybe Mac?)

Yes, making these RAW commands makes sense. If AppGameKit were just a tool for tablet development it would be understandable but Windows is a different animal and needs more flexibility sometimes.
