Data folder problem

Hello.

I made a sketch ; when I want the windows version to work I have to first manually drag and drop the data folder inside the sketch folder. The exported web applet doesn't work at all.
As far as I understand, this is because I just dropped files in the data folder without using the "add files" function from the ide.
What's exactly the difference ? Is there an index of these files somewhere ? I have about a thousand of assets files in that folder and they're all placed in various subfolders, am I really obliged to "add" each of them one by one with the function or is there a quicker way ?

Thanks

There is no difference, Processing just looks into the data folder when a file is requested, whatever the means to add it.
IIRC, Processing 1.5 had an issue with Windows exports with regard to the data folder, I believe it is fixed with 1.5.1.

Then there must be something I'm doing wrong, but I don't understand what.
Because as far as I remember, I've always been obliged to manually add the data folder for an exported sketch to work, even though the .jar file seem to already contain it.

Within the code I'm writing stuff like :
player = minim.loadFile(dataPath("audio/audioLoopDefault.mp3"), 2048);

I tried with the last version but it doesn't help.
Any idea ?

I still don't have a solution, but I've figured out the problem seems to occur when I'm referring to file names using variables, like :

for (int i=0;i<im.length;i++) {
im[i] = loadImage(dataPath("image"+i+".jpg"));
}

How can I do something like this and still be able to export an applet for the web ?
