How to create folder structure when app loaded.

Question

Hi,

I'm in net 8 macos.

I want to create on this path :

var lib = FileSystem.AppDataDirectory.

folder name App and inside it folder Logs.

if these folders exists don't create them.

Please add full code ?

Thanks,

Answer 1

create if not exists:

var libFolder = FileSystem.AppDataDirectory;
var appFolder = Path.Combine(libFolder,"app");
var logFolder = Path.Combine(appFolder,"log");
if (!Directory.Exists(appFolder)) Directory.Create(appFolder);
if (!Directory.Exists(logFolder)) Directory.Create(logFolder);

note: on macOS .net 8 is a catalyst app, and the data folder is the sandbox folder (~/Library/Containers/<appname>/Data). The install will also create links to common folders that the manifest specifies (Downloads, Movie, Pictures, etc).
