Description

Problem

With some Android markets, there is a problem related to the folder that Titanium application will create on the SD card (which is named after the application id/ package name) for use from within the application. These markets would download the application via it's own application and would save the apk on the SD card, unfortunately saving it under the package name. This of course leads to the problem that the application could not create it's own folder (because a file of the same name existed) and the application would crash when trying to access files that normally would have been in that folder. Now, I do believe that the behavior of that market application was less then optimal (they have by now released a fixed version, but that is useless for us, because we have no influence on the market app version a user uses to download our application..), but as it is not clear how many other markets might have this issue.

Request / Solution

To have a means of providing an alternative solution from application side, it would be really great if the name of the automatically created folder could be modified.

Justification

Without this, Titanium apps may not be submitted to some Android marketplaces.
