iOS: Recents pointing to games in the app's Documents doesn't work properly #19211

Closed hrydgard closed 4 months ago

This is simply because every time you launch, the app's Documents directory changes.

Since we store the full absolute paths in Recents in the ini file, they won't match, so won't work.

For now, I think I'll try to detect if it's a Documents directory, and patch in the current Documents path.

I wonder if we have more cases of absolute filenames being stored like that... probably:

Workarounds

For Recents, I'll just patch up any Documents paths on load, since it's easy to know what they should be.

For a more general solution, there seems to be something called Bookmarks: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/FileManagement/Conceptual/FileSystemProgrammingGuide/AccessingFilesandDirectories/AccessingFilesandDirectories.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010672-CH3

Should look into that, may be relevant for some cases.

Documents path won't change "every time" but do change when upgrade apps/etc. So basiclly should still do that.
