Dlib.LoadImage is unable to read images from image library (even when capabity granted)

[pierresa]

Dlib.LoadImage returns "Unable to read file". I have to copy file first to temp folder

Could you tell me absolute path you want to have library read?
Because dlib can handle only std::string so it can not understand unicode.
You can resolve this issue by using FaceRecognition.InternalEncoding property.

for instance, the path string is: D:\Photos\filles.jpg

It's very weird.
Path is simple.
So this file may be corrupted or dlib may not support.

I want to reproduce your issue.
Could you upload this file?

Or you can try Image LoadImage(byte[] array, int row, int column, int stride, Mode mode) or Image LoadImage(Bitmap bitmap).

I do not think the issue is with the file as my work around consist of a file copy to Temp directory. As this work around works for me, we can close issue. The only thing that could help understand issue would be a more specific error message.
