For example, I recently completed a pair of file/picture chooser

from the beginning of my programming effort I discovered that
certain fundamental functions described in the Help had apparently
not been implemented. For example, the function specialFolderPath.
I did not manage to get any information whatsoever out of this
function, different to my experience in Windows and different (I
imagine) to what it would be in Mac. As a result I had to
(temporarily?) direct my widgets for use in Ubuntu Linux rather
than Linux generally - very serious.
Just to clarify, does specialFolderPath return the proper value
under Ubuntu? Which constants work with it?
The docs don't mention Linux at all, while they do list the
constants available for Classic, OS X, and Windows. So from the
docs it's not clear whether specialFolderPath is expected to work
at all right now under Linux.
If it works in one flavor of Linux but not others, while
momentarily annoying it bodes well for the future, as it implies
the effort was made for it to work on Linux but it simply has some
bugs in the current release.
This is especially interesting to me, as I'm planning on my first
Linux release later this year. I'll be watching Linux-related
threads closely....
Last I checked, specialFolderPath does not work on Linux. I have not
checked this out in 2.7 though. Maybe something has changed.
