----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- !!! important !!! ----------------- in order to run examples from within visual studio: (ie debug, or start without debugging) that load in external data (movies, fonts, etc) make sure that the following is set: openFrameworkApp properties > configuration properties > debugging the value for working directory should be: $(ConfigurationName) this is because visual studio, when it loads the exe, will by default run the exe from the project directory, instead of the directory where the exe is compiled to. We've tried to include a "dummy" .user file, (openFrameworksApp.vcproj.user) so that this setting is kept as you open the project, but be sure that it is set if you have trouble loading fonts/images/movies. When you launch the project for the first time, a real ".user" file is made, and that should keep the setting from the dummy file. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
