Problem with paths starting with / or ~

[KittyGiraudel]

This works:

imagesnap -w 3 "Documents/test.jpg"

This works:

imagesnap -w 3 "./Documents/test.jpg"

This doesn't:

imagesnap -w 3 "/Documents/test.jpg"

This doesn't:

imagesnap -w 3 "~/Documents/test.jpg"

Stacktrace:

No device specified. Using FaceTime HD Camera
Starting device...Starting capture session...
    Creating QTCaptureSession...Done.
    Creating QTCaptureDeviceInput with FaceTime HD Camera...Done.

It fails here:

// Image capture
if( [ImageSnap saveSingleSnapshotFrom:device toFile:filename withWarmup:warmup withTimelapse:timelapse] ){
    console( "%s\n", [filename UTF8String] );
} else {
    error( "Error.\n" );
}   // end else

Any idea? :)

Try without the double quotes.

imagesnap -w 3 /Documents/test.jpg

and

imagesnap -w 3 ~/Documents/test.jpg

also, for the first example, make sure that /Documents/ exists and that you have permissions to write in it.
