FileConnection & Directories

[Thygrrr]

I heard today that Storage Locations for files (e.g. Images) may not only vary from phone series to series, but also from language version to language version.

Sowhat is C:/Images on one phone might be C:/Imajes on another.

Can anybody confirm/falsify this?

Not true, AFAIK. The built-in filemanager does localize the certain folder names but the actual folders in filesystem are english regardless.

Hello,

Check the doc below, section 2.3 Nokia-Specific Directories and Table 2:

Introduction To The FileConnection API (With Example) v1.1
http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n..._v1_1.zip.html

"Table 2 shows the system properties. The first column contains the property name that points to a particular directory in URL format. This URL can be passed directly to Connection.open(). The second column is an extra property containing the localized name for that directory. It is strongly recommended that instead of using a generic non-localized name for a directory, the property in the second column be used to make the MIDlet look consistent with the rest of the device UI."

Thanks for the reply, but sorry, the URL you pasted is broken, juarez.
