APIShellExConstants.au3 : missing entry concerning FOLDERID_Desktop

[cyberyeye]

For a project I had to use FOLDERID_Documents I was suprised that this variable was missing from : APIShellExConstants.au3
So I have edited : APIShellExConstants.au3 to add below line 623 :

Quote

Global Const $FOLDERID_Documents = '{FDD39AD0-238F-46AF-ADB4-6C85480369C7}'

and of course it's works as expected : perfectly without any other modification !

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/knownfolderid?redirectedfrom=MSDN

say :

Quote

FOLDERID_Documents

GUID	{FDD39AD0-238F-46AF-ADB4-6C85480369C7}
Display Name	Documents
Folder Type	PERUSER
Default Path	%USERPROFILE%\Documents
CSIDL Equivalents	CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS, CSIDL_PERSONAL
Legacy Display Name	My Documents
Legacy Default Path	%USERPROFILE%\My Documents

 

	This modification allow to do example: Quote Local $Dst = "C:\Temp\Documents" _WinAPI_ShellSetKnownFolderPath($FOLDERID_Documents, $Set_Dst, 0, 0) Is this quick "fix" could being added to the next AutoIT version ?
	Regards
	Edit: as requested I have done on trac a request feature : https://www.autoitscript.com/trac/autoit/ticket/3979

The procedure is to add to the "bug tracker" the complain.
Anyone doing this, please post here that it was done so we don't make more than one entry for the issue.

The bug tracker is not a place to have a chat so opening a post in the forum is a good idea, and placing a reference to the chat in the tracker's post gives the MVPs a place to look at the full discussion in regards to the issue. You did good.
