Hello

I have a small problem with the media folder. I try to store the contents of this folder to another folder, where it is the executable of the game. To explain more easily, I paste the code (test code) below.:



After creating the data directory, I run the program and the file "hello.txt" well appears in the data / media directory. But, at the launch of the program, a folder is created in "AppData / Local / AGKApps / TestMediaFolder /" with as content :

- A folder media
- Arial.png
- Avenir.png
- Button.png
- ButtonDown.png
- interpreter-backdrop.png
- interpreter-logo.png
- interpreter-power.png
- interpreter-spinner.png
- JoystickInner.png
- JoystickOuter.png
- Missing.png

Is there a way that does not create this directory ? or that copy what he needs in my data folder ?

I'm on the 2.0.19 version of agk2 (steam version). My system is Windows 10.

I have a little trouble with that, thank you.

You are probably confusing the internal logic in AGK.
If you read the help files about the read and write folders, you will see that they are treated as one virtual folder. Files are read from both, but files are only written to the Write folder.

The other thing is that you should always SetRawWritePath("") before you set the actual path.

Thank you for your reply,

So if I understand correctly, it is not possible to prevent the creation of the directory AppData / Local ...?

I tested SetRawWritePath ( "") before defining the true path but nothing changes, I have the same files in this directory.

AppData... is always created. This is the default write path. Even if you immediately change the path, this folder will still be created.
