Filename case issues with Linux

Scripting Issues
1

Hello,

I tried to run the SceneEditor on Linux but it fails badly for all modules in the SceneEditor directory. For example it complains not finding the “SeLights” module since it is named “seLights” and the case matters for Linux.

At first I tried to change all filenames from “se*” to “Se*” but then it fails looking for the same modules but now written like “seLights”. So I linked “seLights.py” to “SeLights.py” and now it gone further. There was another fail for a “direct/gui/” module which I changed in a similar manner.

Now it seems to start until it fails with the following error:

Anybody has an idea how to fix this one?

These programs were written by windows users, they aren’t familiar with linux. I need to go through them and fix the windows-isms.

The correct filename case for those files is lowercase. Ie, seLights is correct, SeLights is wrong. Best to make that change throughout.

As for “SystemButtonFace”, that’s another windowsism. Try changing it to “Grey” or “Blue” or some reasonable color name.

Hey,

See my post in General Discussion for detailed descriptions of how to fix
the Tk color issues. Josh says he’s working on them for the next release.

I have not gotten to the Scene Editor yet, I was/am working through the manual
and samples still.
