[XAP][21.05.2014]Update: IO Explorer 3.6 for interop-unlocked SAMSUNG devices

[ngame]

I just use the StorageFolder class:

StorageFolder sf = await StorageFolder.GetFolderFromPathAsync("C:\\");
            List<IStorageItem> lsf = new List<IStorageItem>();
            var items = await sf.GetItemsAsync();
            string test = "";
            foreach (IStorageItem item in items)
            {
                lsf.Add(item);
                test = test + item.Name + "\n";

            }
            MessageBox.Show(test);

After that you should get the properties...

That way you can also browse the C:\System32 folder as well, but there are still folders I can´t access. Maybe because I didn´t add all capatilities.

Edit:
@Sunius1, @GoodDayToDie:

Atm I don´t have time for doing more tests, so any help would be appreciated.

You mean folders like
C:\windows \system 32\config
????
This folders needs a permission before you can access them
Test on emulator image . They ask you to confirm before you access these folders .
I think we don't need capabalities.

As written before so far I couldn´t do more tests, but I can retrieve the StorageItems of the C:\Windows\System32 folder. With the nativefilesystem I can´t retrieve the items.

Edit: The StorageFolder class only has access to those folders on interop-unlocked/capability unlocked devices.

Here 2 screenshots of the C:\Windows\System32 folder items.

C:\\Windows\\System32\\config I can´t access either.

What do you think about other Partitions .
for example :
E: F: G: and etc.

C:\Data = U:\

The other folders you can access via c:\ directory. Check the screenshots.

With your modded Windows Explorer you can´t access c:\ directory...

 

[GoodDayToDie]

The StorageFolder APIs use a broker process with much higher privileges than a typical app. They *shouldn't* allow access to the root of the C: drive, but I'm hardly going to complain if they do!

NativeFilesystem just uses the app's own permissions, through the Win32 APIs directly. Thus it can read C:\Windows (and most of its subfolders, including most of System32) but it can't read C:\, or C:\Programs, or several other folders that we know are there. At least, it can't without getting higher privileges than an app is ever supposed to have.

Thanks for the explanation.

Currently I´m re-coding the app, because I decided to use both: StorageFolder API and nativefilesystem.

Looks like that might be 8.1-only. Huh. Quite a long shot, but has anybody tried writing anything? Also, any idea what capabilities, if any, are needed for that access?

Also, NativeFileSystem has a GetDriveLetters() function which will list all mounted drive letters (surprise!). At least, all of them that it can see...

Yes, it´s 8.1 only. I think the StorageFolder API got higher priveleges because of the the new share/share-target features.

All types of access (read/write/delete/rename/create folders) are possible if the StorageFolder or StorageItem can be retrieved. For example I can delete now folders in the app data folders, before I couldn´t. When I have finished the copy/move functions I will report again....

Edit:

I will test the GetDriveLetters() function...

 

[contable]

How to use the GetDriveLetters() function ? Please explain.

Maybe I don´t have the latest version...

Nice. So we are at the same level now.:good:

Can you browse c:\data\programs\WINDOWSAPPS\ ?

 

[contable]

@GoodDayToDie:

I can confirm read/write access for c:\.

I'm Pretty sure no .
as I remember Windows Apps folder in Windows Phone and also in Windows 8 Pro needs permission that I couldn't access .
