Hello there
I'm building a software and the install needs to find whether xbmc is configured to use the user folder or the main xbmc folder
I can't just look for if some files are present, after all, one can has used one mode and then another, leaving files in folders that are not used
And I can't find infos in the wikki
So is this information stored somewhere ?
Thanks
Determine userdata location?

g_application.PlatformDirectoriesEnabled()
that being said; userdata is always available as special://userdata/ Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting. Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules. For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

I prefer to trust files and datas than end user
 Some don't understand the meaning of some choices... Anyway, I decided to use the registry to get the windows userprofile, then I can find the xbmc.log, wich gives me all I need (masterprofile, home, exe folder...) thus I can store them in a xml file. Huummm is there another possible location for the xbmc.log ? |
