Best way to work with answer folder on multiplatform

Post by titobal » Sun Aug 09, 2009 11:30 am

Hi,

What is the best way to implement "answer folder" when targetting Mac and PC softwares ?

I would like to ask the user to pick a folder, by default it will point to the desktop of the PC or MAC and then the user will pick its choice.

How would you recommend to implement that ?

Thanks.

Klaus
