File Explorer

Post by TypicalHB »

Hello, this is a re-post of a thread I created already, but got no good answers. I want to know if it's possible to create a file explorer. A practical use of it would be to add a system where you can change your in-game profile picture.

you can use love.filesystem or hacks like this - that is calling system tools and parses the output:

So yes it's possible, but probably not very nice to make.

(to be added: arbitrary write location support, but otherwise reading should work)
