In the description of the methods below, the example return values are given for the Unix, Windows and Mac OS X systems, however please note that these are just the examples and the actual values may differ. For example, under Windows: the system administrator may change the standard directories locations, i.e. the Windows directory may be named W:\Win2003 instead of the default C:\Windows. The strings appname and username should be replaced with the value returned by `wx.App.GetAppName` and the name of the currently logged in user, respectively. The string prefix is only used under Unix and is /usr/local by default but may be changed using `SetInstallPrefix`. The directories returned by the methods of this class may or may not exist. If they don't exist, it's up to the caller to create them, wxStandardPaths doesn't do it. Finally note that these functions only work with standardly packaged applications. I.e. under Unix you should follow the standard installation conventions and under Mac you should create your application bundle according to the Apple guidelines. Again, this class doesn't help you to do it.", ""); class wxStandardPaths { public: DocStr( Get, "Return the global standard paths singleton", ""); %extend { static wxStandardPaths* Get() { return (wxStandardPaths*) &wxStandardPaths::Get(); } } DocDeclStr( virtual wxString , GetConfigDir() const, "Return the directory with system config files: /etc under Unix, 'c:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Application Data' under Windows, /Library/Preferences for Mac", ""); DocDeclStr( virtual wxString , GetUserConfigDir() const, "Return the directory for the user config files: $HOME under Unix, 'c:\\Documents and Settings\\username' under Windows, and ~/Library/Preferences under Mac Only use this if you have a single file to put there, otherwise `GetUserDataDir` is more appropriate", ""); DocDeclStr( virtual wxString , GetDataDir() const, "Return the location of the application's global, (i.e. not user-specific,) data files: prefix/share/appname under Unix, 'c:\\Program Files\\appname' under Windows, appname.app/Contents/SharedSupport app bundle directory under Mac.", ""); DocDeclStr( virtual wxString , GetLocalDataDir() const, "Return the location for application data files which are host-specific.
