If you put the original files in your media folder. you can OpenToWrite() and OpenToRead() without worrying about the exact location.

But you must do it before the first compilation of the program no? because i have the files on /media and it reads the files but doesen't write anyone.

I have an Hypothesis:

If you first run the program and the files are not there, it creates the files on its own hidden folder, and then if after that you add the files on /media, it will not use them

because will only use the ones that has created before on it's own hidden folder. ¿Is that right?

All files are written to /home/pi/.config/AGKApps/[AppName], if you call OpenToRead it will first check that path for a file, if it doesn't find it it will look in /media.

Thanks for the answers

Ok, so there's no way to call opentowrite on the /media folder of the app or store the written files there, that's what i understand.

For example, i make a file on the /media folder, the one where is also bytecode.byc and then i want to write a line on it. If i call opentowrite("file"), it looks on /media for the file at some point?

OpenToWrite will only ever write to the /home/pi/.config/AGKApps/[AppName] folder. This mimics other platforms like iOS and Android that cannot write to the media folder.

This is the step-by-step process...

1. Add a file to your media folder (myFile.dat).
2. Deploy the application
3. Run application
4. Open /media/myFile.dat to write/append. It is opened from media subfolder in App folder
5. File is copied to /home/pi/.config/AGKApps/[AppName]/myFile.dat
6. Write to file
7. Save File
8. Close App
9. Run App
10. Open /media/myFile.dat to write/append. File already exists in /home/pi/.config/AGKApps/[AppName] so this version is opened and edited.
11. etc etc etc
