Re: [boost] [filesystem] home_directory_path

You might be better off calling SHGetFolderPath with a CSIDL value like

...

CSIDL_APPDATA. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762181.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762494.aspx

I think CSIDL_APPDATA is not the correct flag, we're using the following args to SHGetFolderPath, and it appears to work char path[MAX_PATH]; bool success = SUCCEEDED(SHGetFolderPath(NULL, CSIDL_PERSONAL | CSIDL_FLAG_CREATE, NULL, 0, path)))); ..and I think this would be a most useful addition to boost::filesystem.
