Base File
Feb 18th, 2010, 2:31am  
Hello,

I wrote those few lines in order to copy files, delete old one and remove a folder.



import processing.app.Base;
 Base base;

void setup()
{
 
 File origPdeFile  = new File("My_original_file");
       File  properPdeFile= new File("My_new file");
       try {
         Base.copyFile(origPdeFile, properPdeFile);
       } catch (IOException e) {
         Base.showWarning("Error", "Could not copy to a proper location.", e);
       }
       
       origPdeFile.delete();  // remove the original file, so user doesn't get confused            
       
       File dir=new File(sketchPath("tst"));
       Base.removeDir(dir);        
}





This works perfectly when i run it into processing...
but doesn't as soon as i export application !!!

There is probably a very good reason and a way to make it works but i don't find it.

Maybe someone coul'd help me !

I have deleted the other post. You can use the [ code ] [ /code ] (without spaces) tags to embed your code.


I think your problem may be related to absolute / relative path, don't you think?

No i check the path is good,

Code:

import processing.app.Base;
  Base base;
PFont font;  

void setup()
{
  size(400,200);
  font=loadFont("Aharoni-Bold-14.vlw");
textFont(font);
	  
	  File dir=new File(sketchPath("tst"));
	  text(sketchPath("tst"),0,0,400,200);
	  println(dir);
	  Base.removeDir(dir);	  
}


in processing the Path is writen and all is right
but in exported application nothing is writen by "text" the frame is not visible
i think the program bug but i don't know where !

You use processing.app.Base which is a class of PDE itself.
When exporting an application, pde.jar isn't included, as it isn't necessary to run exported applications.
I suggest to find better ways to do your operations as adding a 376KB jar file to your app to do such base operations is a bit of overkill...
A way is to take Base.java code and copy the methods you use into your sketch...
