userApplicationDataDirectory uses CSIDL\_APPDATA, I also need  
CSIDL\_LOCAL\_APPDATA, so I defined:

userLocalApplicationDataDirectory to return CSIDL\_LOCAL\_APPDATA.

Could you add this values also?

Thanks alot

There’s no equivalent on mac/linux, though, is there?

Don’t have a clue but at Windows  
CSIDL\_APPDATA gives:  
C:\Documents and Settings$User$\Application Data

and

CSIDL\_LOCAL\_APPDATA gives:  
C:\Documents and Settings$User$\Local Settings\Application Data

and I need this one specificly.

You could just use CSIDL\_APPDATA…\Local Settings\Application Data (substituting whatever JUCE methods are appropriate), couldn’t you?
