We have a lot of Windows users of our cross-platform product. Many in setting where their computers are on university of company networks, some with remote home directory, and many with various parts of Windows "locked" down for security. Increasing, I am realizing where Windows or OSX, desktop OSes are going the way of Mobile OSes with Sandboxing,and they want you to place everything in the User's Library, typically the Documents which is becoming the only place you are still guaranteed to have access to. Baring having to reduce scope to make deadlines, our next release will test write access to a list of windows file locations for an app's files and the last on the list will be Documents. We'll just create a subfolder with our app name and place prefs and licensing files and so in there. Eventually I think, we'll just use the Documents folder. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
