filesystem.read and enumerate

[Lap]

So filesystem.save will save games to the save directory fine, but I have no idea how I point filesystem.read or enumerate to this save directory. Absolute paths don't work. Using getSaveDirectory also won't work.

Here is an example of saving and loading a file to the save directory.

So then the real problem is that there's no way to actually see inside the save directory since enumerate doesn't work. Massive oversight?

But you can!

Due to a bug, you need to do

Code: Select all

love.filesystem.enumerate('whateveryouridentityis')

Hmmm, it appears that only works if you use setIdentity first, even if you just setIdentity to an empty string. Odd, but glad it's working.

[TechnoCat]

Set the identity in you conf.lua files.
t.identity i think. http://love2d.org/wiki/Config_Files

Figured you only needed to do that if you wanted a save directory other than ''. You save to there without setting identity anyways.
