Re: "Resource not found!" error

[Lennox Jacob <lenpartico@yahoo.com>]

I tried this:

  #if TargetMacOS then
    Dim f as FolderItem
    Dim p as Picture
    f= 
SpecialFolder.Applications.child("Safari.app").child("Contents").child("Resources").Child("compass.icns")
    
    If f <> Nil then
      'f.launch  'This launches Preview and displays the compass as a picture
      p=f.OpenAsPicture
      Canvas1.backdrop=p
    End if
    
  #endif

but the compass was not displayed in Canvas1, nothing happened.
