Description

Code:

      window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 5*1024*1024*1024, function(fs){
        fs.root.getDirectory('foo/bar', {create:true}, function(newDir){

        });
      });

Problem:
The directory separator for File Api is '/' (U+002F). So 'foo/bar' argument should be correct. src/windows8/FileProxy.js passes path attribute directly to storageFolder.createFolderAsync that uses backslash '\' (U+005c) as directory separator. The result is invalid path error from createFolderAsync.

This code works, but is nonstandard:

      window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 5*1024*1024*1024, function(fs){
        fs.root.getDirectory('foo\\bar', {create:true}, function(newDir){

        });
      });
