When I changes the folder that I saved freezing videos, the script shows "not found". #46

Hi,

For a while, after I reinstalled the new version of ezTrack, I didn't have any problem with finding freezing video files. However, when I changed the folder (path) to analyze other video files, the script didn't read them.

In the screenshot, "/Users/sungmo/Dropbox/tracking_in_python/original_test_video_CT2/ADFP2/m1_behaviour.avi" is a new path. The original one was "/Users/sungmo/Dropbox/tracking_in_python/original_test_video_CT1/ADFP2/m1_behaviour.avi".

I only changed the folder to another.

Could you help me out? Thank you for your time and attention.

Best,

It looks like you might be using Dropbox, which may have file permission issues. If you move the files locally to your computer do you have the same issues?

It works!!! I didn't know that Dropbox permission causes the problem.

Thank you so much for your quick responses. Have a great rest of the day!

Great! I haven't used Dropbox much but I remember encountering this issue a few years back with someone else. There's probably a workaround. It may be permission issue, or it may be how Dropbox files need to be referenced based upon how they are mounted to your drive.
