How do I complete UserFolder path with correct Drive letter

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with my backup save I create in NWjs.UserFolder in case Appfolder requires a permission.

The problem is that while NWjs.AppFolder and NWjs.ProjectFilesFolder provide perfectly fine URLs, NWjs.UserFolder does not. It actually omits the drive letter.

Thus the path is incomplete and if I try to request a file from this URL with for example AJAX it triggers an error.

Here is an example C3P I made :

mediafire.com/file/sjze230aefptdsh/UserFolderProblem.c3p/file

Basically I have the same exact problem as Colludium in this other topic :

https://www.construct.net/en/forum/construct-2/closed-bugs-22/nwjs-object-userfolder-path-115407

Or Suntank there :

construct.net/en/forum/construct-2/how-do-i-18/nwjs-return-user-folders-115809

An user in the last topic said we could always add "C:\" in front of UserFolder, but is it true that it would work on all computers ? I would like a formal confirmation before taking that claim for granted.

Thanks in advance for your time :)

Found a workaround. If you're only fetching a text file like me with this XML, you can directly use the NWjs.readfile(NWjs.UserFolder) expression to get it, the NWjs object has no problem handling its incomplete URL.

And as a sweet bonus it's instant whereas Ajax requests are asynchronous.

Hello Sam,

I am working on creating a folder and file, also to store the record of the game information.

My problem is that NWjs.UserFolder always delivers it to me as empty data. What value does it give you?
