Expose common folder paths: user directory, user desktop, user downloads about loop-development-kit HOT 7 CLOSED

Hello @latman-oliveai - Thanks for opening this issue.

In version 3.0.0-beta.1 of the LDK, the Filesystem aptitude has a join function that can take filepath segments, and return a string representing a filepath that is aware of the users operating system.

Here is the documentation for that function.

I believe this would solve your issue. Let us know.

I loved seeing that just a few minutes ago. But I don't actually know where the user directory is, what operating system the loop is running on, and who the logged-in user is, so it would be hard to build the paths to get to the current user's desktop.

Got it - I will mark this as an enhancement.

We do need to ensure security for the end user, and reporting to the Loop some of those things may be a violation. This one will take some discussion. Let me get some input from the teams and figure out priority for you.

Thanks for expanding on this.

@latman-oliveai - The team feels that this is a good idea, and would like to add it to the roadmap. We have created a new internal task for this: SIDE-2209. We will update this Github Issue when we complete the feature.

Great thanks!

I'm going to go ahead and close this thread. Please feel free to reopen if you feel that the problem still doesn't have an adequate workaround through using the System aptitude to determine OS, and change behavior based on that.
