Problems with Display Picture Changer v1.1 by Dave on 10-30-2006 at 09:43 PM

I can get this script to work with pictures in my documents, but only with JPEGs - .tif files dont work at least.  Anyway, when i try to change the filepath, it gives me a toast saying that their are no pictures in the folder, but there blatantly are, cos if i copy the filepath from the options box into windows explorer, it gives me a nice folder full of JPEG pictures - far from the none as promised in the toast message.  Has anyone else got this script to work with a different filepath, or can anyone suggest why mine doesn't work, and give advice accordingly  (please bear in mind I don't really understand how scripts work - I just use them :) )
Thanks

I would try copying the images to a different folder and try then there and see if it still gives you the message, if so, re-download it.

are they .jpg files? they should work, .tif files aren't supported, WLM can't convert them...

ah - i have found the problem.  It only works if they have a .jpg suffix, rather than .JPG  I didnt know it was case sensitive...

The Windows file system preserves case, but otherwise ignores it. So unless the script is doing case-sensitive string comparisons, .JPG should work the same as .jpg, .Jpg, .jPg, etc.

Try reporting the issue to the script author.
