Hey guys,

I`m now working on modable game. As part of it - images maybe there, or maybe not. They could be in different folders. That generates a tons of warnings - that flooding my console =(

Does it possible to turn that off?

You could just check whether the file exists before trying to loading it.

Yeah,  your best choice is to check if it exists and if not, don’t use it as a fill.  
 
You can’t turn off console warnings. :frowning:
 
I have io.* extensions in SSK, among which is:

io.exists( fileName [, base] )

-- WORKS FOR FILES AND FOLDERS local lfs = require "lfs" function io.exists( fileName, base ) local base = base or system.DocumentsDirectory if( base ) then fileName = system.pathForFile( fileName, base ) end if not fileName then return false end local attr = lfs.attributes( fileName ) return (attr and (attr.mode == "file" or attr.mode == "directory") ) end

if your files can be in resource directory also you need more checks:

function menu.fileExist(fileName, baseIn) local exists = false if fileName then local base = baseIn or system.ResourceDirectory if ( system.getInfo( "environment" ) ~= "simulator" ) and (base==system.ResourceDirectory) then exists = true else local filePath = system.pathForFile( fileName, base ) if (filePath) then -- file may exist. won't know until you open it local fileHandle = io.open( filePath, "r" ) if (fileHandle) then -- nil if no file found exists = true fileHandle:close() end end end end return(exists) end
