I am running Ubuntu. I downloaded the source code examples for a book
I purchased. Some of the examples load image files located in the
same directory as the program. If I go to the current directory in
the terminal the program can use the image files. However, if I use a
launcher or the filemanager it pops up an error dialog saying the file
does not exist even though it is in the same directory.
The program simply uses the files name. Is there a way without
editing the source and inserting the full path to run the program from
a launcher or the filemanager and allow it to see files in the current
directory?
Thanks, Jim
Maybe create a bash script to call the python code something like:
#!/bin/bash
cd /directory/the/scripts/are/in
python script_name
HTH,
Adam.
PS if you want to use the same script for any python script you could
change the last line to:
python $1
and call the bash script with the python script as the first argument
