Sripted export

[Dagel]

In Dev 6, is it possible to script an export (on a PC) which would go to either the user's desktop or their documents folder without any other user interaction? I'm not that familiar with PC file hierarchy, paths, etc. and don't know the variables and possible scenarios I might encounter from user to user.

I think FM8 has a new function Get(Desktop Path) but since this is a FM6 runtime, that doesn't help me at all.

Thank you!

The script Export function will allow you to specify File name and path when you set up the script.

So it won't matter how the user's computer is set up, it will always end up on their desktop?

Hmm... on MacOS X.x I believe the default folder to "Save without Dialog" is the last folder the user saved/opened from. But I also believe that on the Win/PC that the default folder is the User's Documents folder. Someone else could helpfully clear this up?!

On my last post I wrongly assumed you were creating the script on your own local machine in which case you could pick your desired path to use each time.
