image locations for wps

[jwj]

There seems to be differences in the documentation as to where images should be (or how to specify image paths) between

  http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CustomWPS

which says that they are relative to /.rockbox and

  http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SimpleGuideToWPSMaking

says that the paths are relative to /.rockbox/wps/WPS-Name .

Which is it, or does it depend on the kind of image tag?

The location of the actual wps pictures are: Lets say you have a wps named "Rockbox-Rocks.wps". Now the location of the images go in ".rockbox/wps/Rockbox-rock/"----image name---.bmp""
I hope you understood this. I am trying to help and have not got a lot of sleep this past week.

I am confused about wps image location and linking as well. we want the potential default theme to include an additional unifont version that uses the same images as the standard version. how can we achieve this? I could make it work on the simulator, but it won't work on the device (iriver h340)

Please see the prior post.  Again, the images for the wps go in a directory that uses the wps name; and that directory goes under .rockbox/wps.  As far as I am aware, the images for one wps cannot be linked to another wps; there needs to be a directory for the images using the particular wps name.  It's not really a big deal--just duplicate the directory of images for one wps for the second.

On one hand, that settles the question of how image paths are supposed to be specified.  Thanks.

But, it seems we have identified two bugs.  One is a documentation bug pointed out in the start of this thread: one of the wiki pages says that paths are specified from /.rockbox, which is incorrect.  The other is that there is something wrong with using images on iriver H3x0.

Please feel free to mend the wiki at your earliest convenience, I'm sure subsequent users will thank you

You could get this to work just by having a .cfg file named Cabbie2.0 Uni and just have the config setttings for the regular cabbie images but the font is different. That seems simple enough.

but the font is different in size, so I need to adjust the .wps file.

Any inconsistency in directions might be the result of 'looser language" or the change of the location over time.
