[jira] Commented: (VFS-103) Add support for Local File System
reserved directories
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-103?page=comments#action_12459758 ]
Mario Ivankovits commented on VFS-103:
--------------------------------------
I see what you have done and I am pretty sure it works for you.
But (IMHO) for a library this approach is not sufficient. You can move these folders to virtually any place AND, as far as I know, they differ from system to system in name depending on the OS language.
At least you have to lookup those paths through the registry (on windows).
I think there is no way around in using a native library.

> Mac OS X, and Windows has special purpose directories used to organizes specific types of files. In Mac OS X, these directories include "Documents", "Movies", "Pictures", "Music"; Windows uses "My Documents", "My Pictures", "My Videos" and "My Music".
> Provide a consistent approach for getting these directories either as a static factory method, or as individual methods. i.e. something along the lines of "public static FileObject getRoot(int rootType)" where rootType is a constant that defines which one of the directorires (specified above) that you want.
