DynamicImage translates path the wrong way

[DrVoom]

I have a python variable that leads to an image.

Code: Select all

$ img = "D:\dir\image.jpg"

when i display the variable with

Code: Select all

e "[img]" 

all is looking fine - i get D:\dir\image.jpg

when i set it as an image with

Code: Select all

 image profile = "[img]"

and show it with

Code: Select all

 show profile 

i get
"Exception: DynamicImage u'[img]': could not find image. (u'D:\\dir\\image.jpg')

There are double \\'s in the Exception Statement. The image exists at that place. Any hints what newbie error i am making? Thanks!

it should look like this

Code: Select all

$ img = "images\dir\image.jpg"

you are including you hard driver directory in the code that other players don't have that drive letter

Avoid using \ in paths, it is escape character in python. It is not obvious from your example, but if you use

Code: Select all

img = "D:\dir\bg.jpg"
print(img)

it will print "D:\dig.jpg", because \b is converted to backspace character. In this case img will be "D:\\dir\x08g.jpg"
Use / instead.
