- .. _doc_data_paths:
- Data paths
- ==========
- Path separators
- ---------------
- For the sake of supporting as many platforms as possible, Godot only
- accepts unix style path separators (``/``). These work everywhere,
- including Windows.
- A path like: ``C:\Projects`` will become ``C:/Projects``.
- Resource path
- -------------
- As mentioned before. Godot considers that a project exists at any
- given folder that contains an "engine.cfg" text file, even if such
- file is empty.
- Accessing project files can be done by opening any path with ``res://``
- as a base. For example, a texture located in the root of the project
- folder may be opened from the following path: ``res://sometexture.png``.
- Userdata path (persistent data)
- -------------------------------
- While the project is running, it is a very common scenario that the
- resource path will be read-only, due to it being inside a package,
- self contained executable, or system wide install location.
- Storing persistent files in such scenarios should be done by using the
- ``user://`` prefix, for example: ``user://gamesave.txt``.
- In some devices (for example, mobile ad consoles) this path is unique
- for the app. Under desktop operating systems, the engine uses the
- typical ~/.Name (check the project name under the settings) in OSX and
- Linux, and APPDATA/Name for Windows.
