That's exactly what it should do, surely?

That's my understanding, it is doing exactly what you are telling it to do.

You're telling it to set the writepath to the readpath:
and then confirming that it has done exactly that with your print statements.


I can't see a bug. What were you expecting it to do?

I'm tagging myself in to this one - I'm fascinated to learn what was expected

SetRawWritePath(GetWritePath()) - must turn my current folder to "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\AGKApps\MyGame\". I need this for storing the save and setting data. So I'm always switching between SetRawWritePath(GetWritePath()) to write or read my saving data and SetRawWritePath(GetReadPath()) to load game content.

Now I understood what this function means.
But it doesn't work when I need to save my level to game folder(to .exe) and save player data to AppData folder.
I know how to avoid this, but it's really illogical...Probably just for me

the application folder is more or less a template.
you can load from but save belongs the documents or appdata folder.
means a user can not modify/overwrite app files by mistake.
i think its os design.
myself i like the freedom because other results ending in can't do.

When you read data it looks in the application folder. If it doesn't find the file here, it then checks the write path. You don't need to do anything special to make this happen.

When you write data, it writes to the write path. It never writes to the read path, because this will be protected on most platforms.

The default wite path is:

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\AGKApps\AppName\
