Calculates or guesses the location of system folders like temp, desktop and others. This is needed especially in Desktop applications (e.g. PHP-Gtk ones) that want to create a file in the "Desktop" folder, or for applications that want to know the directory under which application specific data (like config options) can be stored. While this is easy in *nix (just use "~"), it's harder for Windows: You need to get the AppData path which is most times under "C:\Documents and settings\$username\Application Data\" or so. This package solves that problem in a system-independent way. It allows you to get the locations of the following directories: 'Home' => getHome(), 'Documents' => getDocuments(), 'Shared documents' => getSharedDocuments(), 'Temp' => getTemp(), 'Desktop' => getDesktop(), 'AppData' => getAppData(), 'Programs' => getPrograms(), 'Windows' => getWindows() You can use System_Folders_Cached to save and store the directory settings in an ini-file. This allows you to customize the folder locations. |
