i can probably look for myself. but does anyone know how datastore stores data on desktop? on android datastore is in a "private" app directory so you can't access it unless you have root.

i guess you can't do the same on desktop... but is it just a xml key value file? mostly just curious at this point.

did you make it work?

If I generate the executable and execute it under Windows... it doesn't work. Doesn't store or recover variables.
I see that a app.preferences_pb.tmp file is created on the application AppData folder, where it haves permissions and reading or writting of other non datastore files works... but in this case this file has 0 bytes size.
Note it's a .tmp file, and when I execute it under Android Studio i receive a full working file without .tmp extension.
What is happening?

did not end up trying it out... yet

nativeDistributions {
        modules("jdk.unsupported")
        modules("jdk.unsupported.desktop")

those two lines solves the issue
