The Filesystem

Post by eezstreet »

I've liked the way this engine has been setup, believe me. However, there's one little annoyance of mine. Loading of files. Specifically, there is no option to load anything from memory at all, which makes this engine extremely difficult to use. It's impossible to load anything from memory without using some sort of workaround. Is it not possible for the developers that are working on this to come up with some sort of solution to allow loading from memory? Thanks.

Sure there is - anything that takes an IReadFile can take one from memory. I've been using it for years.

dev->getFileSystem()->createMemoryReadFile(buf, len, "filename");
