6.1.0 Paths in Gambas

The focus of the following three chapters is on the descriptions of paths for files and directories in Gambas - including the static properties Desktop.ConfigDir, Desktop.DataDir, Desktop.RuntimeDir and Desktop.CacheDir of the Desktop (gb.desktop) class.

In the last chapter, the theory elements are implemented in a project. The project implements a simple database client. A SQLite3 database with a table and further files (help file, script file, sound files and image files) are provided in special directories in the project directory or created there. The database table can be read and changed.
