I am trying to import a jpg picture into a test program with the Pic.FileNew command but it always gives me this error: Illegal picture ID number '0'. (Probable cause: picture was not successfully created.). I've read other threads with this problem and people keep saying use Pic.Free. I looked it up but i still have no idea what to do with it. This is the code:
I'm using version 4.1.2 |

Is the picture in the same folder as your code? |

Is it possible that your image is actually named 'hello.jpg.jpg'? This actually happens a lot when the operating system hides the extension. |

alternatively: "hello.jpeg" Check out the documentation for Dir.Open -- it has an example for printing names of everything in a directory. |
