A fix for the problem I discovered using Python debugger Pdb. In some circumstances Python will not define __file__ to be an absolute path of the script currently executing, including when the debugger is responsible for starting the application.
E.g. it should be "/usr/share/openshot/openshot.py" but reports "openshot/openshot.py" If it is a relative path it will cause operations such as: os.path.dirname(__file__) to return an empty string or an incorrect result. The solution is to wrap __file__ to get the absolute path first: os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file_)) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
