David, I'm on XP Pro so I can check it out for you. Is it working in the stack on Windows before you made the standalone. Or did you create the standalone from a stack on the Mac?
In other words, is the fact that it is a standalone important? First, you might be tempting fate to use anything but vanilla flavored characters in a path name. Instead of C:/Users/DavidG/Documents/This_Much!/Anon 12 28 08 [11-36 AM]/graphics/image1.png I'd try C:/Users/DavidG/Documents/good/wonderful/graphics/image1.png Another thing to consider is the defaultFolder. You might try placing the images in the same folder as the standalone. --- On Tue, 12/29/09, David Glasgow <da...@dvglasgow.wanadoo.co.uk> wrote: > From: David Glasgow <da...@dvglasgow.wanadoo.co.uk> > Subject: Re: Imagesource of char not working as expected in Windows > To: use-revolution@lists.runrev.com > Date: Tuesday, December 29, 2009, 6:18 AM > > I didn't get any on-list responses to this, but got a > good steer from Richmond Mathewson (thanks!) off-list. > > In brief, my standalone (RR 4.0) takes screenshots and > saves them to disk.
