I made a python program using a library called tkinter. I would like to make this program work on Windows but I'm having paths problems. I made a folder called gui that stores images (like icons and buttons), however I can't use images from this folder without putting the entire path
from tkinter import *
janela = Tk()
janela.title("lofi-station")
janela.resizable(0,0)
janela.geometry("500x500")
janela.configure(bg='black')
background = PhotoImage(file='/home/myuser/projects/gui/backg1.gif')
janela.option_add('*tearOff',FALSE)
janela.mainloop()
I've tried using the relative path but it returns an error. Solving this problem is the key to getting this to work on windows
background = PhotoImage(file='./gui/backg1.gif')
the return:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/myuser/projects/lofi_station.py", line 13, in <module>
background = PhotoImage(file='./gui/backg1.gif')
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/tkinter/__init__.py", line 4093, in __init__
Image.__init__(self, 'photo', name, cnf, master, **kw)
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/tkinter/__init__.py", line 4038, in __init__
self.tk.call(('image', 'create', imgtype, name,) + options)
_tkinter.TclError: couldn't open "./gui/backg1.gif": no such file or directory
after getting this resolved, i want to port this to windows, what would I need to change specifically?
background = PhotoImage(file=r'./gui/backg1.gif')
try using this, might help
