Hi,

I'm having an issue with saving .cfg file that has Windows path in it.
If i try to save it in the same folder as the .exe with SaveFile("config.cfg", cfg) it saves it in a random "This PC" folder!

FileSelNative fs;
fs.Type("jpg & png Images","*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png;*.png");
if(!fs.ExecuteOpen()) return;

String cfg;
cfg << "PATH=" << ~fs << "\n";

//This works
if(!SaveFile("C:\\Users\\ATT\\Documents\\upp_16660\\out\\MyApps\\CLANGx64.Debug.Debug_Full.Gui\\config1.cfg", cfg))
	LOG("Error saving configuration!");

//But this will save it in my Downloads or Pictures or Desktop.. folder
if(!SaveFile("config2.cfg", cfg))
	LOG("Error saving configuration!");
