Recursive create user path on windows

[baconpaul]

thanks one drive!

a one drive user had the os say documents existed in one drive but the directory wasn’t there. Since we create not recursively create %Documents%/surge xt it failed until user made parent documents dir

so change to create recursively on windows startup i guess!

[baconpaul]

Huh so we already do this

    auto needToBuild = false;
    if (!fs::is_directory(p) || !fs::is_directory(userPatchesPath))
    {
        needToBuild = true;
    }

    if (needToBuild)
    {
        try
        {
            for (auto &s : {userDataPath, userDefaultFilePath, userPatchesPath, userWavetablesPath,
                            userModulatorSettingsPath, userFXPath, userWavetablesExportPath,
                            userSkinsPath, userMidiMappingsPath})
                fs::create_directories(s);

that call to create_directories creates all elements of p which dont exist in order.

So there's no additional code change we can make here.

I suppose we can check if your documents directory exists on windows and throw an error earlier?

well that would basically be what we do now except it would throw an error in the event that create_directories would. There's nothing to change in our code here. Closing the issue.
