GetAppConfigDir(Global : Boolean: ForceCreate: Booelan = false) : String; While this can easily be implemented without breaking existing code, this still does not solve the original problem. If creating the directory fails, the function does not return an errorcode, unless we decide to let it raise an exception in this case.. Common programming sense would be to query the desired location, and if it does not exists, try and create it,(for this the ForeceCreate parameter is usefull) __and check__ if this went OK. So, no matter how we change the GetAppConfigDir() function, it will always require code for checking if all went OK.
