File explorer?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

I can’t see anything for this in the function reference so presumably the answer is no, but does Corona support opening a native file browser somehow?

I literally just want users to be able to select a file to load in, and ideally to later select a file to save to. I realise Android etc devices don’t really have a native browser to call up, and access outside of the apps directory on those devices would be an issue even if they did, but this particular app just needs to work on Windows for now so that’s no real biggy.

I believe that there is a plugin in the marketplace that does file dialogs for Windows/Mac. The concept on mobile is a bit alien since you’re not really supposed to access file systems.

Ah, brilliant! Thanks Rob, for some reason I’d not even thought to check the marketplace. Tiny File Dialogs sounds perfect, I’ll give that a shot.
