Examples

Write Custom Files

Platform.FilePicker(PickerMode.Save, file => {
	// On some platforms (like UWP), you may encounter permission
	// issues when trying to read or write to an arbitrary file.
	//
	// StereoKit's `Platform.FilePicker` and `Platform.WriteFile`
	// work together to avoid this permission issue, where the
	// FilePicker will grant permission to the WriteFile method.
	// C#'s built-in `File.WriteAllText` would fail on UWP here.
	Platform.WriteFile(file, "Text for the file.\n- Thanks!");
}, null, ".txt");
