Loading game p8 cartridge does not support path outside picolove folder: cart.lua:211: Unable to open: /home/.../game.p8

[hsandt]

Every time I try to load a game with picolove from the picolove folder:
love . /home/path/to/my/game.p8
I get:

cart.lua:211: Unable to open: /home/path/to/my/game.p8

I also tried relative paths, to no use.
My only solution was to put the folder containg my game.p8 inside the cloned picolove repository, and access it relatively!
love . Games/game.p8

(then I got #24 but that's another issue)

Isn't there any way to access games elsewhere? What if the picolove is zipped? We cannot even add new files in the picolove folder in this case!

I don't think LÖVE allows reading arbitrary files from the filesystem: https://love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem

I also thought so, so I tried again after moving the p8 to /use/local/share/love, to no avail. Tobias V. Langhoff <notifications@github.com> schrieb am Mo., 20. Aug. 2018, 09:15:
