Hello Jesper,
you have to set a converter mode to store full path names in
the .pfb files. An excerpt from the pfconv README file:
- By default just the name of a texture file is saved and not the full
path of the texture file. If you want the full path saved you should
set the PFPFB_SAVE_TEXTURE_PATH mode to PF_ON.
So if you set the converter mode to
pfdConverterMode_pfb (PFPFB_SAVE_TEXTURE_PATH, PF_ON);
you should be fine.
Hope this helps,
Bettina
