appex save file vs homescreen/in editor save file
-
(first post, great app and amazing community, learned a lot from everyone else's contributions. )
I'm noticing the path to the ~/Documents folder is different when my script is run via appex share 'Run in Pythonista' vs. from launch Pythonista via the home screen and running the same script
Share menu run in Pythonista -
/private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/PluginKitPlugin/ID/Documents
Normal Pythonista -/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/ID/Documentsi'm, using
os.expanduser('~/Documents')- is this not the correct way to access the documents folder? or, is there a way to get to the regular Pythonista Documents folderThe script i'm using is at https://github.com/khilnani/pythonista-scripts/blob/master/extensions/save-url.py
Thanks!

what version are you running?
In a recent version(maybe the beta), the appex and main app share the documents folder.

Using cwd helped -
DOCS_DIR = os.getcwd().split('Documents')[0] + 'Documents'
