But when I use a variable instead then find-image is not finding the picture. What am I doing wrong? ;; picture test.jpg is in my home directory (add-to-list 'image-load-path "~") ;; working (find-image `((:type jpeg :file "./test.jpg"))) ;; NOT working (setq my-picture "./test.jpg") (find-image `((:type jpeg :file my-picture))) Thank you for your help.
