Is there an equivalent U++ function for SHGetFolderPath?

I'm saving a program's config file into the user's Application Data folder. Right now, I'm using SHGetFolderPath with PathAppend and CreateDirectory and it is working fine but only on Windows. Sad

I've read Core/Util.h and Core/Win32Com.h but couldn't find a substitute. Am I missing something else?

Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions. Smile

Best Regards,
Yeoh

No.

We can add something later, but I am not even sure what linux equivalents are.... Maybe it is way to platform specific...

The closest thing to CSIDL on POSIX is the XDG base directory specifcation: http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0 .5.html
