File Open Error 1233: Expected a reference to an existing

[cwilkinson]

Hi all.

I starting my first photoshop scripting project, so i'm a noob. I've got experience in php and mysql, so I have a bit of scripting experience.

So, here's the deal,

PS CS2

MAC OS 10.5

The full path to the image is /users/sean/Pictures/serno/IMG_7823.jpg

I tried a bunch of different methods of specifying the full path to the file, all of them seems to add /Applications/Photoshop%20...etx to the first of the path.

So I've got this, and I get Error 1233: Expected a reference to an existing File/Folder

// BEGIN CODE

var filepath = new File("IMG_7823.jpg");
open (filepath);

// END CODE

I've stripped it down, put the file in the same directory where the script exists.

Can anyone help? I'm having a terrible time with this!

Thanks in advance,

-
Chris.

Not surprisingly, the problem was with my path. Four hours to figure that out.

Embarrassing!

Moving right along...
