I find it rather inconsistent and less functional that while saveStrings() will save into the Sketch's folder, loadStrings() doesn't load from the sketch folder, only the Data folder. This functionality, in addition to adding consistency in the library, would allow users to load text files that have been changed as the program runs. This would be very useful for level editing in a game that I'm making which has an external editor. It's a bit annoying to recompile just to load a new level.

I know that there are workarounds (using non-processing Java functions, loading using PHP and getStrings("server.php?file=blah.txt") as I am doing now), but it seems to me that this wouldn't be that hard to do.

One way to implement this in addition to the current functionality would be to  add a check in the getStrings() function and if the file does not exist in the included data, it tries to load the file from the sketch/app folder. Or perhaps two separate functions: getStrings and getFileStrings()
