Ruby Shoes App packaged for Windows doesn't display images

When I package my Shoes App for Windows images doesn't work. I have this very simple app (min_test.rb):

Shoes.app() 
{ 
  background "bg.jpg"
}

Which works fine if I run it through Shoes, but when I package it with Shoes so that I get a standalone .exe file the images doesn't load. Inside the folder these are the contents:

min_test.rb
bg.jpg
min_test.exe (after packaging)
Solution

  • If Shoes3.3.1, indeed, on linux too.
    console (alt-/) saying "couldn't find tmp.....bg.jpg" ?
    (background or image)
    could you file a bug report, please : https://github.com/Shoes3/shoes3/issues

    EDIT: Sorry, wait
    if Shoes3.3.1 !
    you have to first make a shy then an exe and the resulting exe will be outside of the directory where your script and image is. follow this : https://github.com/Shoes3/shoes3/wiki/Packaging
    (note: tested on linux and on Windows)
