Missing image error when starting Sunflower

Missing image error when starting Sunflower

joshas opened this issue 4 years ago · comments

Cloned latest version from repository and tried starting Sunflower with following command from terminal:
python -m sunflower
It fails complaining about missing image:

  File "/home/user/projects/Sunflower/sunflower/__main__.py", line 163, in do_activate
    self.window = MainWindow(
  File "/home/user/projects/Sunflower/sunflower/gui/main_window.py", line 115, in __init__
    self.icon_manager.set_window_icon(self)
  File "/home/user/projects/Sunflower/sunflower/icons.py", line 136, in set_window_icon
    window.set_icon_from_file(os.path.join(base_path, 'images', 'sunflower.svg'))
gi.repository.GLib.Error: g-file-error-quark: Failed to open file “/home/user/projects/Sunflower/sunflower/images/sunflower.svg”: No such file or directory (4)

All images are actually located in main directory, not "sunflower" subdirectory.

Thank you for reporting this one. I somehow missed it because I have my own package installed which is the first place where program looks for icon. I'll fix it.

Anyway, I went on and fixed it. Please retest.

Good to hear that. Handling shared paths is not as simple as it sounds. Each distribution has its own quirks.
