User specified image doesn't work

[pezholio]

Hi,

I've successfully used RasPiWrite to download and write an image to an SD card, but it seems that when trying to write a user-specified image, the path of the image file is repeated. Here's the out put after I try 'accept':

Running dd bs=1m if=/Users/stuart/Downloads/RasPiWrite/OpenELEC.10977.img.gz//Users/stuart/Downloads/RasPiWrite/OpenELEC.10977.img.gz of=/dev/disk1...Waiting dd: /Users/stuart/Downloads/RasPiWrite/OpenELEC.10977.img.gz//Users/stuart/Downloads/RasPiWrite/OpenELEC.10977.img.gz: Not a directory

I'd try and fix it myself, but my Python skills are somewhat lacking!

The script seems to only want to download an older image not the latest so I similarly tried to point the script to my download of it, resulting in:

Beyond me! Help please.

Hi, make sure that the debian.zip file is in the same directory as Raspiwrite.py, then simply type 'debian6-04-2012.zip' at when you are asked to locate the image.

Sorry about the late reply, I'm afraid I lost the email among the large amounts of comment emails I've received on the exaviorn blog post for RasPiWrite

Same issue here:
