Hi! i'm making time to come here..
i don't know where post it.

many time having the same problem and no time to resolve

for all who have problems to run an _script_ with pixbuf and want to "add an image from file", specifically on windows platforms
the simple way to resolve them is wrote the entire path to the image, even when the image are in the same directory.

example

image in the same directory

Code: :

$image = "image.png"; $pixbuf=GdkPixbuf::new_from_file($image);

change to

Code: :

$image = "c:/path/to/directory/image.png"; $pixbuf=GdkPixbuf::new_from_file($image);

i hope to be a big help for all.

quijote shin.

Under windows you always have to use the syntax
"./your_file.jpg" for files in the same directory
for files in one directory lower use "../your_file.jpg

maybe that will help your troubles relative filepath are better otherwise people will not be able to install there program where they want it.
