Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Franco Iacomella (francoiacomella) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Error trying to change value of Filename property Initial Comment: To reproduce the error do the following: - Import an image in PNG format. - Save the file in direcory that is not the $HOME - Close the file and re-open it (so the path to the image changes to be relative to the location of the .sif file was saved) - Select the image object. - In the properties of the object go to "Filename" property and click the "File" button. You will get an error like this one: ----- "The folder contents could not be displayed" "Error getting information for '/home/<name of your user>/<relative path used as value property>': No such file or directory" ----- - After click "Ok" you will get the file dialog in your home directory. The problem is the way that relative paths are used when trying to open the file dialog. It misses the real absolute path to the location of the original image. An example: - My home folder is /home/yaco - My .sif file is saved in /home/yaco/synfig/files/file-1.sif - The imported image in file-1.sif is in /home/yaco/synfig/files/images/image.png - The value of the property is relative to the .sif location, so is: images/image.png - Now, when you try to change the image value clicking the "File" button, the Open Dialog will try to open: $HOME + Relative path. In the example: /home/yaco/images/. As that folder doesnt exists, you get the above error. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=757416&aid=1988939&group_id=144022 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
