Unable to create temporary image error

[Alan_AEDScripts]

Hi there, I recently started embedding images in my scripts...

Today for some reason, AFX doesn't like loading any scripts with embedded graphics...

"Unable to load temporary image file" is the message I am getting.

and the script crashes...  restarted, AFX, ESTK and pc ... same deal.

Any idea what is causing the conflict....?

Thanks

Alan.

Thanks Alan. A couple more questions: is the user instructed to place that folder inside the ScriptUI folder? Do you have a unique folder name for each of your scripts?

Thanks again for your time and help!

hey there, I just use a pre launch function before script does anything - useful for filtering AE versions and checking  the scripting security preference.

So below I am checking for the folder and the first icon, that should be good enough that the user hasn't deleted everything and we are good to launch.

Usually I have the folder corresponding to the script name.

//Check folder present.

    var thisFile = File($.fileName); //this file as an obj.

    var thisFileFolder = Folder(thisFile.parent); // parent folder object.

    var strFolder = Folder(thisFileFolder.fsName + "/AED_CornerCutters/Icons").toString();

    var testFile = new File(strFolder + "/AED_TidyUp.png");

    if (!testFile.exists) {

        alert("Please make sure the supplied folder 'AED_CornerCutters' and it's contents are in the same " +

            "folder as this script. Either the folder or some of it's contents are missing. (Check the zip file you downloaded.) Script will now exit.", "Corner Cutters");

        return true; //There are errors.

    }
