| Subject: | Backslashes in info.dat |
This problem occurs on Win32. When Album generates an info.dat (by
creating an empty info.dat and running album, that is), filenames are
written with a backslash, as in:
# album control file created by Album 1.04, Mon Oct 23 11:42:21 2006
!title Photo Album
# New entries added by album 1.84, Mon Oct 23 11:42:21 2006
!tag
large\foto_0001.jpg
Problem is, that next run of Album will not find the file anymore:
todo[inf]: large\foto_0001.jpg -- missing
By changing the backslash (\) to a forward slash (/) Album happily sees
the files again.
Album should either use forward slashes when creating the info.dat for
you, or recognize backslashes as path delimiters when reading it.
This was tested with:
OS: Windows XP Professional
Perl version: 5.8.7 (ActivePerl build 815)
Album version: Album-1.04
cheers,
