Q: JSFX: gfx_loadimg path from REAPER /Data subfolder ?

[X-Raym]

Hi !


With JSFX we have gfx_loadimg( slot, filename ) which is able to load mg.


I can see from Saike code that it can look for subfoler relative to FX path like this:
File structure:

Squashman
-- \Squashman_Dependencies
---- squashman2.png

-- Squashman.jsfx

loaded = gfx_loadimg(5, "./Squashman_Dependencies/squashman2.png");

My question is : can we load img file from REAPER resource /Data subfolder ?
What would be the correct formatting ?


I tried to see in existing script but the amount of JSFX actualy using gfx_loadimg is surprisingly slow.



Thx for your help :P

In resume the question is : where can a JSFX look for img to load for its GUI ?

I confirm it is how it works:

You may also specify a PNG file. If you specify a file ending in .png, it will be opened from the same directory as the effect, and you can use the filename index as a parameter to gfx_blit(). -- REAPER 2.018+

Image files are only on subfolder of effects or same directory.
Other files type are under /Data folder.
