File parts error running apps via home shorcut
-
Hiya guys taking a break from the pdf issue I had,, I think I found a solution but it’s on a take me a week or so to implement... so on to the easier issue
I have an app that uses a load of subvies etc also uses a few folder for templates and invoices also got a folder for sound effects banners etc
No the issue is works fine when I run the script from within pythonista... but if I run from shortcut straight into the app I get file not found errors it’s almost as if the app can not see its file paths
And help would be great
This is a pic of the error

Can you include a snippet of your code, and the way you attempt to view that path? Do you use
os.path.expanduser
for example? Based on the image I would say you're trying to call a path relative to a directory, but when running from the shortcut it might not know how to find it. It's safer to call it relative from the user directory, then useos.path.expanduser
to solve the path. -
Cool
Here’s a snippet really it’s for reading and writing the ini file
For example Same command used but for the sound fx
def SoundFx(N): if N == 1: # Honour position of phone silent switch sound.set_honors_silent_switch(True) # sets volume sound.set_volume(1.0) #preloads sound.load_effect('./RR/img/hadouken.mp3') #sample to be played when imaged pressed sound.play_effect('./RR/img/hadouken.mp3') vibrate()

Looks like that would work not sure how to implement it if you got any clues a am full beginnerish

@CastroSATT Is your script in the root?
Begin your script with
import os print(os.listdir())
Only to check the difference when you run in Pythonista and from an home screen shortcut
-
import os.path my_sounds_dir = os.path.expanduser('~/Documents/dir_where_the_script_is_now/RR/img/') sound.load_effect(my_sounds_dir+'hadouken.mp3')
