Me and the Strawberry team (as well as other teams within our class) have experienced issues regarding folders when using dropbox. When creating sub-folders of Codea, the files disappear and the folders aren’t there.
@dave1707, but the folder does not show in the Codea sprite picker, correct? I think you can still access it using the correct address (Dropbox/Folder:Img - I think) but you can’t view them from the sprite picker
@JakAttak I moved an image into a folder under Codea in Dropbox. I sync’d Dropbox with Codea and the image in Codea disappeared. I assume it was moved into the folder. I wasn’t able to read the image back from a project. I use an address similar to what you have above, but didn’t get anything. So I’m not sure if an image in a folder can be read or I just wasn’t using the correct format for the folder and image.
@dave1707, curse my memory, but I actually asked the same question a while back :P. John replied to mine, and as it turns out the correct address is “Dropbox:Folder/ImageName”
@JakAttak That address format worked. I created a folder in Dropbox and moved an image into it. I sync’d Dropbox and Codea and read the image even though I couldn’t see the folder or image.
For my part I kind of wish Codea didn’t use the nonstandard “Project:filefirstname” path format for everything. IMHO, it offers a tiny bit of convenience over “Project/filename.ext”, but it does make a lot of things much more difficult
@dave1707 Does your dropbox sync properly? After updating to 7.0.4 now when I sync my dropbox it first says cannot connect to it then the second time I try it it just crashes the whole of codea!
