by Pisal Setthawong · in iTorque 2D · 01/12/2010 (7:31 am) · 11 replies
when im using version 1.2 im used
new ScriptObject(Profiles);
Profiles.save("profiles.sav");
and it work perfectly on PC , Mac and iphone.
but on version 1.3 it seem this code didn't write anything to iphone , im tried to check and the function SimObject::save is called and even return true , but everytime im tried to load , the file isn't there. anyone could enlighten me with this problem? there are a lot minor change when im move to 1.3 and this is the biggest problem for me.

it seem 1.3 and 1.3.1 tried to find and load .sav.dso when call exec("profile.sav") but in 1.2 it doesn't have any problem to handle this kind of load , there a lot of changes in exec console function from 1.2 i have to investigate more

exec is in the own folder the saving is definitely not in the own folder but the applications documents folder

For example :
getAppDocumentsPath() is used to find somewhere to save the files.
You also load it from that directory. you cannot save files "in place". The iPhone does not allow it.

Did you try saving the file NOT to the bundle (as thats not allowed?) .For example :
getAppDocumentsPath() is used to find somewhere to save the files.
new ScriptObject(Profiles); Profiles.save(getAppDocumentsPath() @ "/profiles.sav");
You also load it from that directory. you cannot save files "in place". The iPhone does not allow it.

Pisal, tried saving and then reloading your app using that method. My guess (well not so much a guess really) is that file won't be there for you.
