Saving/Loading by relative or absolute path

[ghost]

I am working on a project (hxcpp target), where i need some state to be loaded before System.start(), but the path used before System.start() defaults to $HOME/.Kinc Application (obviously, because app name is not yet set). Even worse, if any read/write is executed, path used doesn't use application name for entire runtime.

So..... is this just not possible/maintainable because of non-desktop targets? I'm aware that it would be awkward, but allowing saving/loading by path might be helpful for making app more self-contained, or just not to litter in $HOME, or equivalents in other OSes.

Also, kinda related but also kinda not, does anybody know why language server screams on me for using sys.io.File (says i am targeting js). It compiles and even works, but its really annoying that language server just dies, because it doesn't parse anything past the first error.

Yes, that indeed doesn't make sense for non-Desktop things - just use the standard Haxe file APIs for that instead. And to make them not scream at you, change vscode to Kinc instead of HTML5 (there's a button at the bottom, see picture).

Thank you very much. It seems so simple that I feel dumb for asking >_<
