Is there a way where I can serialize my object to a spesific directory?
For example on the Desktop? I don't want the object to be serialized to the project's folder.
Thanks!
Serialize Object to specific directory
What have you tried? You should just be able to specify the full path to the file you want to write when you create a FileOutputStream.

puzzleToExport = p;
String filename = pname + ".ser";
try{
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(filename);
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
oos.writeObject(puzzleToExport);
oos.close();
System.out.println("puzzles serialised");
}
catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
Should I set the directory on FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(filename); ??
Read the docs of FileOutputStream constructor then you tell us.

Are you asking how to determine the "project's folder"?
I guess the bigger question might be what are you trying to serialize, settings, save games, something else?

Well that was really dumb of me. I was using \ instead of /, That's why I wasn't able to save the serialized file elsewhere.
FileOutputStream was legit all the way. ^^
My bad, sorry guys.
