Announcement: OSFolder module

Add-Ons

I’ve just put up on Github a replacement for the built-in SpecialFolder methods that returns a Xojo.IO.FolderItem rather than a classic FolderItem. It just helps to make code a little easier to read.

For example, with Xojo’s built-in methods, in order to get a reference to the Desktop as a Xojo.IO.FolderItem (rather than the classic FolderItem) you’d need to do this:

dim desktop as Xojo.IO.FolderItem = New Xojo.IO.FolderItem(SpecialFolder.Desktop.NativePath.ToText)

Now you can just do this:

dim desktop as Xojo.IO.FolderItem = OSFolder.Desktop

Much nicer.

You can get it from GitHub.
