The template.h has default this line of code:


// used to make a more unique folder for the write path
#define COMPANY_NAME "My Company"


It seems that "My Company" is a folder created within the AGKApps folder (AppData/Local). Is this a bug or the idea?

Thats the idea really. You are guaranteed to be able to write to that location and its unique to your company name

See the documentation for SetFolder()

https://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/Reference/File/SetFolder.htm


Theres nothing to stop you from attempting to write elsewhere and even to the media folder if you wanted to using the raw functions but you are not always guaranteed to have write access.
