Relative path issue on terminal opening.

[MrLixm]

Hello !

Context

I am using the latest alpha build v0.0.3 on Windows 10.

Issue

The application crash before being open because of an invalid relative path :

OSError: Cannot read image file "imgs/pyVexrSplashScreen_v001.exr". No such file or directory.                          
[17604] Failed to execute script 'pyVexr_gui' due to unhandled exception!                                                                                                                        

Steps to reproduce

• Open the generic Window command line. (win+r > type cmd)
• Drag and drop the path to the executable in the terminal (see first line of the traceback)
• Execute

Expected behaviour

I assume the application doesn't the working directory to be set to the directory of the .exe. When starting from the command line it's not the case (set to C:\Users\lcoll) so the application crash.

Probably all relative paths should be produced from a "root path" which is himself built relative to the path of the executable ?

Hope it's clear. Cheers !

Hi :)

I think you're right about the issue expected behaviour. I'll add a root path system in order to avoid it in the next release, thank you for this elaborate feedback :)

Hi again,

Fixed using absolute paths and the os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]) method The latest windows release has been updated with the fix : https://github.com/mteillet/PyVexr/releases/tag/v0.0.3-Alpha-Windows Thank's for the feedback ! 😄
