#4 ImageTexture with relative subdirectory url not working for x3d

[Cedric Steiert]

Hi, i've discovered while reviewing a recent change on the blender x3d extension that freewrl is currently not capable of reading image files from a relative subdirectory. See attached file. Is the file corrupt or does freewrl handle this case not just yet?

Testing in version 6.7 of freewrl:
It's the backslash vs foreslash issue:
In the file as exported, it complains it can't locate file texturesUntitled.png
<imagetexture def="IM_Untitled" url=""textures\Untitled.png"">
-- its as though it takes out the backslash and concatonates the parts.
If I change to foreslash:
<imagetexture def="IM_Untitled" url=""textures/Untitled.png""></imagetexture></imagetexture>

-- then no complaints and the texture shows up.
If I change to a double-backslash:
<imagetexture def="IM_Untitled" url=""textures\\Untitled.png"">
-- then no complaints and the texture shows up.
Q. do you think that's a bug in freewrl or blender x3d exporter? Does the exporter have any options about fore vs backslashes?</imagetexture>

Hi Dug, thanks for the quick reply. You can consider this issue as resolved then as it's also working on my end with your proposed changes.
I totally missed the fore-backslash difference whilst comparing different output files...thanks for the hint.

Does the exporter have any options about fore vs backslashes?

The image texture export feature is currently in development by Vincent Marchetti. At the current state there is no such option, however further testing resulted in inconsitent output results depending on chosen path option. Totally missed that tiny difference whilst testing.
