Demo (itch.io): https://yellowafterlife.itch.io/gamemaker-nsfs
Documentation: http://yal.cc/r/17/nsfs/
Price: $3.99
Modules: Windows (is a DLL)
This extension offers quite a number of functions that allow the games to work with filesystem without "sandbox" restrictions, meaning that you can save to program' directory, read outside of AppData, and so on.
It also expands upon the built-in functions, offering more tools for working with directories, file attributes, and encoding.
Full list of supported functions got a little long so is now available in documentation.
While some functions are yet to be implemented, this can be bypassed by copying the given file/directory into the sandboxed directory and working with it via standard functions there.
