Question about load image call

[PLUCKYHD]

I am trying to use the load image call here is my code

LoadImageFile("C:\SageTV\SageTV\STVs\SageTV3\SageMCE\PLuckyhdSMWScreens\FanartBlank\BlankBLUBG.JPG")

Then I have a image widget below that both nothing is being displayed

any help is appreciated.

Also how do you abbreviate the c:\sagetv\sagetv to call the default install location as most times I know it will be c:\programs\sagetv\sagetv

thanks

First, you have backslashes in the path, so they need to be double "\\" instead. Second, you may not even need the call to LoadImageFile(), since you can feed the path to the image widget directly.

Just use a path relative to the path where sagetv.exe is located, or relative to where the STV file is located, simply leaving off the initial "c:\\...\\" portion that leads up to where the exe or STV file is found.

Thanks once agian I will give this go and report back. I can't call it in a image widget as I am setting a property to this file.

What Andy is saying is that you don't need to wrap the string expression in a call to LoadImageFile(). If an Image widget is below an Action widget that evaluates to a String or a java.io.File, then that String or File will be interpreted as the path to an image file, without an explicit call to LoadImageFile().
