    You could use NW.JS action "Show folder dialog"

    You could also try to make a system which deletes snapshots ignored by player when player quit your game in order to prevents a high data storage

    ALready done, old snapshots are deleted if player discards the game and starts a new one. So if i use Show Folder dialog, can i save the selected path to a variable and use it to point all the future snapshots, in order to avoid prompting the dialog every time?

  • If there is a way to prompt the user a path selection that would work for all the future snapshots, then yes. But so far i just allowed the users to save each snapshot where they want, which resulted in annoyance since the selection pops-up frequently, they asked to remove it and make it automatic actually!

  • Thanks! I was missing the wait 0.5 part, lol

  • What?? How can i generate it from the game? o.O

  • Maybe i did something wrong previously, but now it's all smooth

  • Ok, i managed to make it work silently, dunno how (as always), hate when things work and i dont know why, i prefer they dont

  • I moved the bat file in the Dinosystem directory, and it has this:

    rmdir /Q /S History

    Edit: changed with DEL /Q /S "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\DinoSystem\History\*.*"

    works better and doesnt need to stay in the same folder. But the confirmation pop-up problem is still there

  • Yep it works! Thank you

  • Yea, it's not very professional indeed xD

  • It works as it is now, here's the js:

    "var fs = require('fs');fs['writeFileSync']('" &replace(NodeWebkit.UserFolder&"\Documents\"&"\DinoSystem\"&"\History\" & "DScreen" & SnapN & ".jpg","\","\\")& "','" &CanvasSnapshot& "'.split(',')[1], {'encoding': 'base64'});"

    the SnapN is just a variable to number the screens

    Is there any advantage in changing to the way you suggested?

    PS: is there a way to tell the game to delete a folder? Looks like i can delete only a single file, but i want to delete all files in the given folder or the whole folder. Just an optional thing though.

  • Yep, Documents is way more professional!

    PS: it works like a charm, but i had to find out that in the js code the path has to be reported with "\folder\"!

    Thanks a lot, mission accomplished!
