I think it's OK if you haven't got a sandbox situation to deal with, but I'm not 100% sure - but a quick experiment would prove it. I can do this, but not right now, so maybe it's better to experiment yourself. Cheers Graham On 28 Feb 2013, at 18:57, Thomas McGrath III wrote: > Graham, > > T

Tom, unless I've misunderstood what you need, why not use the specialFolderPath("support") path? These are paths that can be written to by an application on both platforms. It's easy to see what the path actually is, so you can tell the low level application. I'm using this approach for somewher
