Hi Ben,

Thanks a lot for your quick response

I have developed a test file that accesses Google gears when I run it on IE or Mozilla

Creating hard link between Firefox's Gear directory and IE's Gears directory will just solve problem for these twobrowsers

However when I run my test file on any other browsers (like Safari or Opera) then problem will still exist.

Is there any other way (which can be done programmatically) by which all browsers will refer to same data directory? I mean is there any way to specify fixed storage location so that all browsers will refer to same location?

Please advice

Thanks, Melwin

Hey Melwin --

You might try making a hard link (http://shell-shocked.org/article.php?id=284)
from the Firefox Gears directory to IE's Gears directory.  That way when Firefox tries to access it's Gears directory, it actually looks at IE's.

Hi,

I have Google Gears installed on my machine(0.3.14.0 version)  and using it to store and retrieve data locally.

For IE,Data files gets created under

C:\Documents and Settings\myusername\Local Settings\Application Data \Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\uelib44s.default\Google Gears for Firefox

For Firefox, Data file gets created under C:\Documents and Settings\myusername\Local Settings\Application Data \Google\Google Gears for Internet Explorer

I observed that data storage is specific to type of browser. Hence if I store some data on IE using Google gears then I can not retrieve that data on Mozilla using Google gears.

Is there any way by which in Google Gears data stored using one browser(like IE) can be accessed in different browser (Firefox)

I greatly appreciate your inputs/suggetions on this
