Just a dumb question, because I don't see it in the documentation, if I LoadImage() with a file that doesn't exist, is it suppose to return an ID?

In 02.05.2018 / MacOS version, I do this:

id = LoadImage("any filename")

Then

id = 100001, GetImageFileName(id) = "any filename", GetImageWidth(id) = 64

Why is this happening?

I imagine it's the default graphic for a missing image. Can you create a sprite from it?

Not sure though.

Doesnt Mac and Android require exact filename spelling correct like:-

if the image filename is "\media\Picture.png"

Then

\media\PicTurE.png- wont work
\media\picture.png - wont work
\media\picture.PNG - wont work
\media\Picture.png - should work

I may be wrong though without testing

if you want agk to catch the error you need to use SetErrorMode(2), otherwise it will likely use the missing media image (the red cross) so the program won't crash.

Puzzler, I think the question Is if you and load a file that doesn't exist, not spelling it wrong.

Or just do a check before hand using if getfileexists()=1. This is actually just good practice anyway I think.
