thank you very much! it worked now.kikito wrote:Windows doesn't care about uppercase and lowercase letters. So if you save something as PLAYER.PNG, and open it as "player.png" or "player.PNG" or "Player.png", it "works".
This is not the case for the rest of the systems. OSX, Linux, and, critically, ZIP files, don't do this "case conversion". That's why it "works on windows" but not anywhere else.
The solution is: make sure that your files and the path you use to load them are EXACTLY the same (my personal preference is always using lowercase for filenames and extensions).
LÖVE does not allow reading things outside of the folder where main.lua is (or outside of the .love file) for security reasons. The only exception is the "data" folder, which is different for each system (windows, linux, osx).

since love2d has no open file dialog lib. i used love.textinput so the user will input the location of his desired image. does that mean if his desired image is not in the "data" folder, love will not read the image?kikito wrote:LÖVE does not allow reading things outside of the folder where main.lua is (or outside of the .love file) for security reasons.
