507248 - Change default download location on Windows CE (again)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect, P2)

Description

[Justin Dolske [:Dolske]]

Bug 499807 changed the default download location on Windows CE to "\Hard Disk". The device we're working with has since updated the FS layout, and that path no longer exists. Looks like we should probably switch back to one of the normal defaults ("My Douments"?), but let's make sure the OS layout isn't going to change again...

Yeah, maybe My Documents... we need to figure out which special path we should use SHGetSpecialFolderPath with (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa931257.aspx)

flagging blocking1.9.2?   users will need to know where to download files on default.

Vlad, can we get a stable path or environment variable to use here?

Hmm, I tried copying a 128MB file from the SD card to various folders on the device (including each one directly under the My Devices root), and the OS warned me each time that there was no space. This unit says it's got 16GB of flash in it, so I have no idea where it's hiding. Will ask the Nvidia guys again.
