display.save() to system.CachesDirectory doesn't work

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

If you try do use display.save() to system.CachesDirectory, the file will be saved in system.DocumentsDirectory instead. [import]uid: 70847 topic_id: 34661 reply_id: 334661[/import]

#2

I’ve confirmed that [lua]display.save()[/lua] can save to the caches directory. However, this function will save to the documents directory by default if the 2nd argument is misspelled.

Are you sure you don’t have a typo?
If you do, then that effectively passes nil as a 2nd argument.

#3

Strange…
This is a paste directly from my code, which doesn’t work.

display.save(activeMonster, "monster.jpg", system.CachesDirectory);

The file gets saved to the Documents directory. If I change to system.TemporaryDirectory it get saved to the tmp directory…
The problem happens both in the Corona Simulator, and on a device (iPad mini).

#4

I’m sorry. You’re absolutely right. I dug a little deeper and have found that [lua]display.save()[/lua] can only write to the Documents and Temporary directory. If you give it any other directory then it defaults to the Documents directory.

I’ll look into changing it this week.
