Yeah, this is what I was going to do. However, this does require some maintenance when new browsers/platforms get added. Not that it's such a big deal, but it'd be awesome if we could just grab it from script and always be sure that, no matter the platform, we were getting the right path.

You can find a list of the paths to the files
here:http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=82853&topic=11630
Those are the Google Gears directories for the respective browsers/OS's
Inside those directories, there will be a directory for each domain that has been allowed to use Gears. WIthin those directories will be the LocalServer and database files.
You could just link them to that article, however there's no way to programatically detect their path through Gears.
Hope that helps, Ben

Hi,
As applications running in the web browser have no direct access to the file system, we do not expose an API to access this information.
It would help if you could provide some more details on what exactly your trying to achieve.
Best regards, Jeremy

It's easy enough to figure out where the DB file is based on the documentation, browser and OS. It'd be easier still if there were an API call that just returned the absolute path on the client machine.
