And it was actually an accident. I made that change to the current directory to change the saving location for exported files. I've been meaning to give the log files a separate save location ever since. It would probably be a good idea to not use the current directory for anything, except maybe for the default browse location. > --- > James > ___ > Ohrrpgce mailing list > ohrrpgce@lists.motherhamster.org > http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org > ___ Ohrrpgce mailing list ohrrpgce@lists.motherhamster.org http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org

I still kinda think that putting g_debug.txt in the game directory instead of some other fixed location was probably more trouble than it was worth. --- James ___ Ohrrpgce mailing list ohrrpgce@lists.motherhamster.org http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org

Doesn't Windows have a proper concept of unwriteable directories? Not really. The best way to check is to try writing to a file, and see if it fails. You could try explicitly checking security, media, etc., but that would be a lot of code and you'd definitely miss stuff.
