Unable to load a bundle from a script

[tomw]

(In Win7). When I run this:

c:\Program Files\McIDAS-V-System>runMcV.bat -pyfile /temp/ams2012_forum.py

where /temp/ams2012_forum.py is:
loadBundle("/temp/2012_03_06.mcvz",None,640,480)
pause()
writeImage("/temp/joleen34.png");

I get the following. Somewhere along the line, a "/bundles" has been prepended to my path, so my bundle is never found!!

(I did copy the bundle to "/temp/bundles/" and then this ran fine....)

Hi Tom -

I just tested this out with today's nightly and everything seemed to work correctly. Please let me know if I am doing anything different than what you did.

1. Created a .py file (named sattest2.py) to load a bundle and create a movie. I saved this to my McIDAS-V-System/temp directory:
loadBundle("temp/satellite.mcvz",None,500,500)
pause()
writeMovie("temp/satellite1.gif")

2. In the Command Prompt, I ran the following:
runMcV.bat -pyfile /temp/sattest2.py

This wrote a movie and I did not see any errors in my log file.

Thanks -
Bob Carp

Thanks, Bob. The nightly from 3/8 now works okay for me, too....looks like it's been "fixed"...

Confirmation from old Europe. Now it works as expected. Thanks to Bob (and TomW). Scripting is making progress.
