I'm having troubles finding the app manifest file in a Windows Phone 8 Project, I tried searching for "Properties", but there's not such folder in my project, I tryed seeing under "My Project" but there's nothing in there.
Someone knows how to help me?
P.S. The app works just fine so I think there must be a manifest file in the project, am I right?
VB projects hide these files - they show if you set to show all files, and you can also change the settings via the project properties, without needing to open them.

I am working on a Chrome App where I need the users to open files in a directory. For his own files, I can offer them a dialog through
chrome.fileSystem.chooseEntry
which works well. However that seems to limit me to the "Downloads" directory and Google Drive on my Chromebook. I would also like to ship some files with the application itself, so the files/folders would be located inside the app package. Is it possible to access these files through the fileSystem API?
I would not need the user to choose the files from a dialogue, it would be enough if I could get a handle to these files and offer to display them on the click of a button through my app.
Thanks in advance
You can read included files using chrome.runtime.getPackageDirectoryEntry(function(directoryEntry) {})
To my understanding, WinRT apps store their application data in
C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Packages
My Windows Phone 8.1 application seems to have its own folder there as well, with an odd name like
App.aba911777.a60e8.a46c0.aa90d.a5038d92d276e_8wekyb3d8bbwe
However, when I browse the directory, I cannot find any of the files I've saved to ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder. They are definitely there, because if I re-run my app in the emulator (which hasn't been closed at all), can find the cached files. Presumably these files are saved somewhere on my actual hard drive; where would they be?
(LocalFolder.Path gives me C:\Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Packages\2cdc8aaf-b7fe-4bcb-992a-18ad6f140771_b83k3kj2dpxdw\LocalState but I'm not sure how to find that on my hard drive)
To transfer/access files on Windows Phone Emulator (also works with device) you can use:
Isolated Storage Explorer tool - here is a good link how to do it, and also one useful here.
a very nice tool is Isolated Storage Spy - which now supports also WP8.1
Windows Phone Power Tools from here - you will have to check if that already works with WP8.1.
Search your SQLite db file in "C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\".
localFolder.Path gives you correct location. You are not able to find that folder because AppData is been hidden. Please change your PC settings to view this folder.
Thanks
Thanks for you help in advance,
I am building a very simple web page , (a single page) with links to e.g bbc.com, cnn.com etc, (this works fine)
now i need to create diff links on that page to various location on our internal shared drive, which is already map to user pc from the server (running win server 2008).
wen users who's systems are not connected to our domain try to access the shared drive (after a shut down) they are always prompted for username and password which then give them access to the drive.
my ques now is how do i create this link on my html page so that when users click it. its opens (\10.10.0.1\k\Shared\HR) in windows explorer and not in the browser which it does now.
<li data-tags="Logo Design"><img src="images/portfolio/thumbs/image(5).jpg" alt="Illustration" />
this is the line i use.
i have read this links but they dont look to ans my ques, or i dont just understand what to do,
Opening windows explorer via link
Open ClickOnce application deployed in shared folder by a web browser
Access a shared folder from a machine not in the domain

How to launch an EXE from Web page (asp.net)
am doing this on my system but will transfer it to the server, and will place a shortcut to my index file on users desktop.
Thanks for you help, I hope I have provide all the info needed to help me with this.
we all use chrome cause of google drive
This will not be accomplished by any default browser configuration that I am aware of, as using file:// references would typically cause the browser to try to launch the file. Maybe search though Chrome plug-ins to see if something is available there to override default browser behavior.
I'm about to start a Chrome packaged app project which will include a NaCl component to parse CHM files. But before I start, I just want to check if it's possible to get the app to automatically launch when a CHM is opened (when the users clicks on a link to an chm file, or possibly if a chm file is dragged into a Chrome window).
I've come across some Google documentation here which describes associating NaCl modules with MIME types in the extension manifest, but A: I'm not sure if this is relevant to my problem and B: I've tried doing as it describes, but nothing seems to change.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it!
I was able to hack around with chrome.webRequest to filter URLs with .chm extensions, but of course that only works when a user clicks on a direct link to a CHM file, and there is no way I know of to access local files outside the sandbox (for good reason no doubt).
I have since decided to make the project a Drive app with the C++ portion squirreled away inside a DLL on an ASP.net server, which makes a lot more sense to me.
I'm trying to develop apps for Spotify using their API. I started using this guide of theirs but got stuck quickly when it said to put my files in "My Documents/Spotify". Vista uses the folder Documents instead of My Documents (and if you try to create My Documents inside your user folder, it merges the contents into Documents), so I'm having trouble getting Spotify to find my apps.
I created folder "hurrdurrdurr" inside C:\Users\myusername\Documents\Spotify\, and put the HTML and JSON files described here inside of C:\Users\myusername\Documents\Spotify\hurrdurrdurr\, but "spotify:app:hurrdurrdurr" gave me a "metadataFailed" message with "Error:appNotFound". Any ideas where I should be putting my app files?
And yes, all of the following things have happened:
I have made my account a developer account
The "Develop" tab has appeared in Spotify
I have tried restarting Spotify after putting the app in the directory
Also, I'm using Spotify version 0.8.3.222.{build ID that I'm too lazy to copy}. I can't find a download link for any preview build, but this is the latest version as far as I can tell. Anyone
The directory should be correct, in my case it is C:\Users\buchetics\Documents\Spotify. Something is probably wrong with your app. Check out the example/tutorial here:
https://github.com/mager/spotify-apps-tutorial
I just cloned the repository and it works with the same Spotify version you are using.
After having a similar problem with getting the Spotify tutorial to load into Spotify on my Windows machine, I figured out what the issue was-- it's very simple. I'm not going to claim this will resolve every issue but a lot of people who are using Windows based machines seem to be running into this issue.
1.Once you download the Spotify tutorial from github, extract it to the folder you've created-- as stated on the github site the folder should be "Spotify".
You can place the "Spotify" folder where ever you please as long as it's on the C: drive (Desktop, My Documents, etc).
Open the "Spotify" folder; then open the "apps-tutorial-master" folder-- within this folder is a folder with a similar name "apps-tutorial-master", cut all the files from within this folder and move them up to the parent of this folder and paste them.
"Spotify"->"apps-tutorial-master"->"apps-tutorial-master"->"THE FILES WE NEED TO MOVE UP ONE DIRECTORY";
The new directory structure should look like:
"Spotfy"->"apps-tutorial-master"->"THE FILES WE MOVED UP ONE DIRECTORY;
Once you've cut and paste the files up one directory you should then be able to get Spotify to load the tutorials. The redundancy in the folder structure comes from the extraction/unzipping by the windows utility.
I hope this helps those who are using a Windows machine.
