Detailed Description

Provides methods to find out where the Ogre config files are stored and where logs and settings files should be written to.

Remarks

In modern multi-user OS, a standard user account will often not have write access to the path where the SampleBrowser is stored. In order to still be able to store graphics settings and log output and for the user to overwrite the default Ogre config files, this class tries to create a folder inside the user's home directory. Specialised implementations for each individual platform must subclass this abstract interface.Implementation for the FileSystemLayer interface.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

FileSystemLayer()

Ogre::FileSystemLayer::FileSystemLayer ( const Ogre::String &  subdir )

inline

Creates a concrete platform-dependent implementation of FileSystemLayer.

Parameters

subdir

A subdirectory inside the user's path to distinguish between different Ogre releases.

Member Function Documentation

getConfigFilePath()

const Ogre::String Ogre::FileSystemLayer::getConfigFilePath ( Ogre::String  filename ) const

inline

Search for the given config file in the user's home path.

If it can't be found there, the function falls back to the system-wide install path for Ogre config files. (Usually the same place where the SampleBrowser resides, or a special config path above that path.)

Parameters

filename

The config file name (without path)

Returns

The full path to the config file.

References OGRE_BUILD_SUFFIX.

getWritablePath()

const Ogre::String Ogre::FileSystemLayer::getWritablePath ( const Ogre::String &  filename ) const

inline

Find a path where the given filename can be written to.

This path will usually be in the user's home directory. This function should be used for any output like logs and graphics settings.

Parameters

filename

Name of the file.

Returns

The full path to a writable location for the given filename.

setConfigPaths()

void Ogre::FileSystemLayer::setConfigPaths ( const Ogre::StringVector &  paths )

inline

setHomePath()

void Ogre::FileSystemLayer::setHomePath ( const Ogre::String &  path )

inline

resolveBundlePath()

static String Ogre::FileSystemLayer::resolveBundlePath ( String  path )

inlinestatic

Resolve path inside the application bundle on some platforms Ogre is delivered as an application bundle this function resolves the given path such that it points inside that bundle.

Parameters

path

Returns

path inside the bundle

createDirectory()

static bool Ogre::FileSystemLayer::createDirectory ( const Ogre::String &  name )

static

Create a directory.

removeDirectory()

static bool Ogre::FileSystemLayer::removeDirectory ( const Ogre::String &  name )

static

Delete a directory.

Should be empty

fileExists()

static bool Ogre::FileSystemLayer::fileExists ( const Ogre::String &  path )

static

Test if the given file exists.

removeFile()

static bool Ogre::FileSystemLayer::removeFile ( const Ogre::String &  path )

static

Delete a file.

renameFile()

static bool Ogre::FileSystemLayer::renameFile ( const Ogre::String &  oldpath, const Ogre::String &  newpath  )

static

Rename a file.
