Creating directory as well when saving screenshot

[easy]

Hello!

Am I doing something wrong or Irrlicht really does not create the directory as well as the file itself when saving a screenshot?

The way I do it currently is:

Code: Select all

//! createScreenshot
void CGame::createScreenshot()
{
    io::IFileSystem* fsys = device->getFileSystem();
    io::path fbase = "screenshots/screenshot", fext = ".png";
    bool leave = false;
    int num = 0;

    do
    {
        io::path fname, fnum;
        fnum += num;
        fname = fbase;
        fname += fnum;
        fname += fext;

        // check if the screenshot already exists
        if (!fsys->existFile(fname))
        {
            video::IImage* screenshot = driver->createScreenShot();
            core::stringw log;

            if (driver->writeImageToFile(screenshot, fname))
            {
                log = fname;
                log += " has been created";
            }
            else
            {
                log = "Could not create ";
                log += fname;
            }

            screenshot->drop();
            iface->setScreenLog(log);
            leave = true;
        }

        if (++num >= 100) leave = true;
    }
    while (!leave);
}

Basically the code above just wants to save a screenshot to the "screenshots/" directory, with the name of "screenshot<number>.png", and it works fine if I manually create the "screenshots/" directory.

The question is, shouldn't it create the directory too if it doesn't exists?
As I see it, it's the "writeImageToFile" function where it fails.
Oh, and I'm on Ubuntu linux, if that matters.

Thanks your answers in advance,

Irrlich thas no functionality to create directories, nor to remove files or directories.
