Whenever I try to run the experiment PsychoPy comes up with the following error:

16.9926 ERROR Couldn’t find image images/bob.png; check path? (tried: /Users/bethtwine/Documents/Psychology/Dissertation/Beth Psychopy /Exposure A 1 3/images/bob.png)

This error occurs for scripts written in python and builder that previously worked as well as a newly made experiment. The image is definitely where PsychoPy is looking - is there any reason this is not working? I have played around with it a lot but cannot find a solution. Sound files are located without issue.

Thanks,  
Beth

It definitely isn’t 😉

Select the file in the Finder and copy its path from the `Get Info` window and compare it to the string in the error message above. Also check that you have file extensions being displayed (i.e. so the the file isn’t actually `bob.png.png`)
