Python Web Development Techdegree Student 8,722 PointsImage file names in mineral project. If there is a % then it doesn't load. If there isn't a % then it does. What to do ?
In the python techdegree mineral project, there is an image file for each mineral. These are provided in the project resources. They are named and some of the file names have % characters in them. When I attempt to link to the images from my project, the images that have % characters in the file names won't load. But the images that don't have % characters will load just fine.
Is there a special way to approach this? I don't want to have to write a script to update each file name and swap the % for another character. I would then have to update the db values with the same file names.
Am I missing something?

Not sure what happened there, we had that experience early on and we updated the image files with new file names. I just updated that project again, so try to download the starter files again and see if that helps.
Happy coding,
Ken

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 8,722 PointsThanks Ken. I'll have to re-initialize the database with the new data. Any pitfalls to watch out for? Is there an easy way to wipe and reload? I'll look it up but any pro tips would be great.

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 8,722 PointsOk, I downloaded the updated project files but the .JSON file for the database still has the old path names to the images.
With 873 images it isn't practical to go through and manually update that.
Any possible way to update that as well and get a new JSON file in the project files?
