Import image bug?

Post by furushil »

Hello, I may just stumbled over a bug. I just tried to import a jpg-file to the stage (three times), which was called "frank%20sinatra-7.jpg" and TVpaint crashed (three times). When I change the file name to "frank.jpg" it works just fine.
I also tried to change the file name to "frank%.jpg" and TVpaint told me "unknown file format". So, the problem seems to be the "%" in the file name.
Maybe someone already reported this but I could not find it.

I am using MacOS 10.7.5(Lion), TVpaint 10.0.18 (32bit) standard

%20 is how a blank space in a file name is sometimes represented. So if you want to load the frank-file try substituting a space i.e. frank sinatra-7.jpg.

In some cases you are required to enclose any file names which include one or more spaces, inside quotes so that the space(s) is/are forcibly read as part of the name.

Sometimes in george scripts you must write the name of such a file like this: '"'frank sinatra-7.jpg'"' , that is (single quote double quote single quote) at the start and end of the file name.

Thank you for the reply, I did not know that.

It is not a problem to replace the "%20" with a space.
I just thought, it would be frustrating, if you work on a file and then try to import a picture from the internet and TVpaint crashes, because you did not know of this issue.
Luckily in my case it happened at the very beginning of a new file.
So maybe it is some sort of bug that can be fixed.
