Anyway basically what happens is that I have a main menu and I start the game this creates a game object and that creates a graphicSetBundle object which is where I am using al_create_fs_entry then from the ingame menu I quit back to main menu calling the game destructor and any others required.

Now the problem is that the second time I run the game it doesn't work. al_fs_entry_exists(gfxsetPath) returns false and most interestingly to me is that gfxsetPath instead of giving the full path D:\blah\graphics\sets it has the value of ../graphics/sets

This is what gfxsetsDir is equal to in both cases but it does not appear to work/give the same result the second time and I don't understand why

ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY *gfxsetPath = al_create_fs_entry(gfxsetsDir);
std::vector< ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY *> gfxSetFilePaths;
al_open_directory(gfxsetPath);
printf("gfxsetpath: %s\n", al_get_fs_entry_name(gfxsetPath));
printf("isexist?:%i\n",al_fs_entry_exists(gfxsetPath));

ALLEGRO_FS_ENTRY *next;
do
{
  next = al_read_directory(gfxsetPath);
  if(next != NULL)
  {
    gfxSetFilePaths.push_back(next);
  }
}
while(next != NULL);
al_close_directory(gfxsetPath);

for(int i=0; i<gfxSetFilePaths.size(); ++i)
{
  currentPath_ = al_create_path(al_get_fs_entry_name(gfxSetFilePaths[i]));
  bundle_.insert( std::make_pair<std::string, GraphicSet*>(al_get_path_basename(currentPath_), new GraphicSet(currentPath_)) );
}

for(int i=0; i<gfxSetFilePaths.size();++i)
{
  al_destroy_fs_entry(gfxSetFilePaths.at(i));
}
al_destroy_fs_entry(next);

al_close_directory(gfxsetPath);
al_destroy_fs_entry(gfxsetPath);

This is being compiled on Windows 8.1 x64 with Visual Studio 2010 not that it should matter. Hopefully that is enough code because there is a fair bit of code if the problem is elsewhere and it may not necessarily be particularly tidy code. I can say everything worked (apart from the memory leaks) as it should before I started loading graphics with physfs. (my hardcoded paths and global variables were annoying me)

Edit: it would appear its not the fact that I am deleting my GraphicSetBundle or the Game object that it is created in is the problem. If I create multiple GraphicSetBundles than only the first one will work even if the intended directory is different.

Edit Again: Problem Solved ! I had used al_set_standard_file_interface() instead of using al_set_standard_fs_interface() so presumably it was still using physfs when it wasn't supposed to all good now then.

al_create_fs_entry not working second time after calling destructor
