[jira] [Commented] (CB-10515) LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT does not detect file system storage

Sergey Shakhnazarov commented on CB-10515:
------------------------------------------

[~theodarsamuel], the current Windows implementation for PERSISTENT fs points to {{ms-appdata}} not to {{ms-appx}} (the correct reference for {{ms-appx}} is [cordova.file.applicationDirectory|https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file#where-to-store-files]), so this is the correct behavior (this is the application sandboxed private storage, which persists restarts).
The issue you are talking about is {{cordova.file.externalRootDirectory}} support for Windows, which resolves to ["<sdcard>/" on Android|https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file#android-file-system-layout].

> The call to window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, function() {}); does not detect the root storage location in windows phone 8.x. Rather it points to private data directory,even after adding   the capability for accessing the local file system (removableStorage) in AppManifest.xml.
> Basically window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0,function(fileSystem) {}, function(error){}) gives me only "ms-appx://local" path which is actually the private data directory for an app in windows phone. I want to access the root directory of the file system because I am letting the user to store app specific files anywhere in the phone. (It works in Android without specifying anything)
> Basically the above LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT should not point to private data directory, rather it should be the root directory of the local file system.
