Hi,
Does Phobos have a way to portably get the user's configuration directory?

As an example, GTK+ has this:
http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/glib-Miscellaneous-Utility-Functions.html#g-get-user-config-dir

Thanks,
Nick

No, it doesn't. I use PhysFS[1]. It's probably overkill if that's all you need it for, but it gets the job done if you don't want to write roll your own.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably copy the gtkD one into my code then (not sure how to use PhysicsFS for that).
