title: How do I get the Path from the Windows 8 Photos App as a Share Target?
body: <p>When I try getting the Path from the IStorageItems passed back to me from a Share Target's GetStorageItemsAsync() call when sharing from the Windows 8 Photos app, the Path property for all items returned is empty. The Name (filename) is properly populated. However, I need the actual Path, and there doesn't appear to be a way to get it.</p>
  
  <p>Is this a bug in Windows 8's Photos app, or am I doing something wrong?</p>
  
  <p>My code to get the list of items:</p>
  
  <pre><code>this.sharedStorageItems = await this.shareOperation.Data.GetStorageItemsAsync();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My code to iterate through the list:</p>
  
  <pre><code>// Display the name of the files being shared.
  var files = new List&lt;String&gt;();
  for (int index = 0; index &lt; this.sharedStorageItems.Count; index++)
      files.Add(String.Concat(this.sharedStorageItems[index].Path, "\\", this.sharedStorageItems[index].Name));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The Path above is always empty.</p>
