Hi

If you save, lets say an image in your program with saveimage, where is the file saved? I can´t find any of the files my program saves with finder...

I never want what I know.

I just found out that the files saved and created with writeToFile(), SaveImage() etc. are saved in the Media folder of the AppGameKit player folder on Mac:

/Users/MyUsername/Library/Application\ Support/AGK\ Player/media/

This is a very awkward place to save app-centric files. The folder isn´t even searchable with spotlight as default since the agk player is inside a hidden system folder. I think this has to be changed.

Anyone know how to make agk save files to the apps own media folder on mac? I need it while this is fixed.

I have added this to the alpha 9 feedback thread...

I never want what I know.

Hmm, that is strange. I can't get any of the SetFolder() or SetRawWritePath() commands to work on Mac.

Apple has been moving towards a sandbox model on Mac, similar to mobile devices. As such we can only store files in the Application Support folder and apps can't read or write anywhere else unless the app has a sandbox exception setup. If you're not distributing through the Mac app store you should be able to use SetRawWritePath for now, but I wouldn't recommend it as it sounds like Apple will tighten things even further in future.
