autoload_dirs does not affect loading (0.7.6.6) about chingu HOT 6 CLOSED

I can't replicate this. A simple:

p Image.autoload_dirs
Image.autoload_dirs << "pictures"
p Image.autoload_dirs
exit

Gives me the expected default-dirs + the new "pictures"-dir in the second print.
What ruby / platform are you on? What would the above code print for you?

Ah, markdown I love thou.. :)

from chingu.

require 'gosu'
require 'chingu'
include Gosu
p Image.autoload_dirs # => []
Image.autoload_dirs << "pictures"
p Image.autoload_dirs # => ["pictures"]

Resources will still be read from the defaults, but not from "pictures".

• Ruby 1.9.1 or Ruby1.9.2 (Windows Ruby Installer)
• gosu (0.7.22 i386-mingw32)
• chingu (0.7.6.6)

Ah, it's Chingu::Window that fills in default dirs... try p Image.autoload_dirs in Chingu::Window#setup for example.

Yes, you are quite right; thanks for sorting me out there. Putting the code into the Chingu::Window::setup made it work. Perhaps you should just push your default directories into that list rather than overwriting it, then it wouldn't matter exactly when the user added their preferred directories?

good idea, done! :)
