Need to be able to run the program from anywhere

Need to be able to run the program from anywhere so when auto starting the paths work ok

[waldo323]

I created a separate shell script which simply changes to the photo booth program folder and then runs the capture.py script

[craigmaloney]

Would you create a pull request with the shell script? Thanks!

Ah, I see what's going on. When it loads the config file if it isn't given an explicit path then it defaults to "./peppercarrot.yaml". So if it's not in the same directory it'll error out.

I think this is fixed with the latest push in feature/cleanup. Please confirm.

@waldo323 Did this work properly for Penguicon or is there still more work to do?

[waldo323]

@craigmaloney I may have the full path listed in the cron or whatever is launching the script from or it is changing to the directory then running. I will check later and confirm one way or the other

I can run capture from elsewhere running develop, but run into an issue

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/user/projects/pygame_photobooth/capture.py", line 361, in
config.load()
File "/home/user/projects/pygame_photobooth/capture.py", line 36, in load
fb = open(filename, 'rb')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './peppercarrot.yaml'

develop is not full screen otherwise the yaml files for the theme look the same

I verified that with the capture file from develop checked into master I am able to start the photobooth software. I will commit it to my master and then put in a pull request.
