IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR @Beta Testers ON QUEST, DATA LOSS POTENTIAL
Apologies, but due to upcoming changes in Quest security policy, we’re having to move the location of your saved data.
Old Location:
/sdcard/Open Brush
New Location: /sdcard/Android/data/com.Icosa.OpenBrush/files/Open Brush
This is one of the few locations we’ll be able to read and write data from properly to ensure full function of the app, but it also means…:
IF YOU DELETE THE APP FROM v2.3.20 YOUR SKETCHES WILL BE DELETED TOO
This is because the new location is where game specific files for each app are usually stored, and to protect privacy when the app is uninstalled, this directory is cleared too.
Access to where your data usually lives will soon require a special bit of code that neither Unity or Meta has implemented proper support for in VR applications. We disagree strongly with their choices, but have no choice if we wish to continue uploading builds to the Quest platform. We are working with other creative app developers who are in the same situation to highlight the importance of these changes to Meta, and petition for the proper access APIs we need to function optimally.
We strongly recommend that you back up your data, either by hooking up to a computer or by utilising the built in google drive sync within the app. We will be working on written guides to explain this and better ways to give you control over your data.
We’re sorry for the confusion this will inevitably cause and we really hope we can come up with a better solution in the near future.
