Description

While on android and ios the file plugin loads all file system paths on the phone which can be accessed with "cordova.file.xxx" (where xxx can be dataDirectory etc.) on wp8 this does not work at all.

I dont even see any javascript file providing these paths. While on android there is a javascript file called filesystempaths.js, on wp8 its missing.

But according to official documentation, the file plugin is fully supported on wp8 except two functions (which i do not need).

I need to get the data directory from my app running on wp8 using cordova.file.dataDirectory. How can we get this work?
