Android Build 11 - INI potential issues

[Kisguri]

This may have to do with rebuilding MMF2 so many times and the INI object getting messed up in the process, but I noticed it wasn't loading sometimes in my androids app some of the data it supposed to save, so I ran it from MMF2 and used the Appdrive$+appdir$+filename to force target location of my ini file, It did not appear in the windows folder. SO I then created the attached app to test INI basic function in a Windows app, and it again is not creating the INI file. Please someone test the simple app and see if in the apps route folder they get a INI to appear.

I confirm this too. I have the latest beta installed.

In the properties of the INI you have "Create INI file in the Application Data folder" selected, but in the events you're using AppDrive$ + AppDir$.

Is this something new, because I reverted back to 8 and it worked as it did before?

Simon reports that after making the suggested changes, that it still does not create a ini using beta 11 when testing inside MMF2 on the PC

This option has been added in a beta version of the build 252, I don't remember which one.

Not sure which changes you've done but on Vista / Seven the Windows folder is protected, you can't write to it unless you run the application with admin privileges. That's why we've added the option.

How it works :

- if this option is selected, and you specify an INI filename without directory name (e.g. "myini.ini"), the file will be created in a MMFApplications subfolder of the user's application data folder (%appdata%).

- if this option is not selected, and you specify an INI filename without directory name (e.g. "myini.ini"), the file will be created in the Windows folder (but that won't work on Vista / Seven as said above).

- if you specify an INI filename with directory name (e.g. Apppath$ + "myini.ini"), the file will be created in the directory you specified, whether or not the option is selected. Note that Apppath$ is protected if you've installed the application in Program Files.
