Description

A reference to a local file, for example <img src="/images/pic0.png"> will correctly load the file pic0.png from the .../Releases/images directory if set in the HTML at first page load, but if the location is changed dynamically in JS, the file will not be found and will fail to load. A relative path (<img src="images/pic0.png") will succeed if the images directory is in the same parent directory as the HTML page referencing it.

Any timeline on this?

Was looking for the problem and found out 2 hours later. :(

   var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
       backgroundColor: '#fff'
   });
   
   /*
    These images can be downloaded from:
    - http://appc.me/content/bug.png
    - http://appc.me/content/kitten.jpg
    */
   var images = [ '/images/bug.png', 'images/kitten.jpg' ];
   var imageIndex = 0;
   var image = Ti.UI.createImageView({
       image: images[0],
       bottom: 50
   });
   win.add(image);
   
   var changeImage = Ti.UI.createButton({
       title: 'Change Image',
       bottom: 0,
       height: 50
   });
   changeImage.addEventListener('click', function (evt) {
       image.image = images[++imageIndex % images.length];
   });
   win.add(changeImage);
   
   win.open();
