Image directory not found
-
From one day to the next, I started getting the "image directory not found" error when trying to compile. I don't know what to do—the Image folder is where it's supposed to be. I've seen that other people have had the same issue. Does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks.

@lijas90 How are you using images in your project, through the property editor, through scripting, or both?
-
@d-healey I add the images through the properties editor. I’ve tried deleting them, but the same error keeps appearing. If I create a project completely from scratch, it lets me compile, but older projects don’t.
-
@lijas90 And the images are in the project's Images folder?
-
@d-healey Yes
-
@lijas90 Try adding
Engine.loadImageIntoPool("*");in on init - I'm not sure it's necessary but worth a try. -
@d-healey It doesn’t work, I hope I haven’t lost weeks of work...

As long as the files are there you haven't lost a thing. Can you show me the console output you see from compiling? Also have you tried cleaning the build folder before compiling?
-
@d-healey This is what shows up when I try to compile. I’ve deleted the Visual Studio 2022 folder in Builds and the contents of Shared Code and VST. What else should I delete?
-
@lijas90 I just looked at this error in the source code. It's not your project's images folder, it's the HISE images folder.
Have you set the HISE path correctly and at that path do you see
hi_core/hi_images? -
This post is deleted! -
@d-healey Do you mean this folder Binaries\Source\Images? I also suspect the issue comes from there, because if I delete the Source folder, HISE compiles, but I get an error
-
Let's go back a few steps. Have you successfully compiled HISE from the latest develop branch?
-
@d-healey I don’t know, I’m using the latest version of HISE. But I think I already know what the problem is — right before trying to compile, I was trying to create an RSA key pair and a dummy license pair, and now that’s causing issues. I think I created them, but I don’t know how to delete them.

You compiled it yourself?
-
@d-healey SOLVED! I just deleted the RSA files I had created. What I don’t understand is the 'Image directory not found' message, but now it compiles fine. Thanks a lot, d.healy!

Seems like you solved it without me :) I don't know why either, but glad it's resolved.

So HISE (on compile) will look to see if you have RSA.xml in its project folder - if so it assumes (wrongly in this case) you want to use the activate system and start adding in a truck load of stuff - that will require a number of things - not least is a set of UI element to handle this, some code to call the server - and an account on the server...
In brief (to anyone listening) DONT add RSA.xml to your project folder unless you have all this stuff set up and paid for...

@Lindon Thanks!
