Import issues continue

[seruum]

I was about to open a ticket explaining the import issues I was having when I saw that some updates had already been made in regard to that. However, they still exist for me. I'm using 0.19.0, which I thought might be part of the problem, but I'm not certain.

If it helps, to get it to work, I moved all the nimPDF files into the first directory in nimble (nimpdf-0.4.2 I think) and then had to download the zip file and manually add the "private" directory to nimPNG. This looks like it may have been addressed already.

When I saw the new changes, I removed nimPDF using nimble and then re-installed it. I didn't go further after that because of time, but it looked to act the same as before in that "nimpdf could not be found".

FWIW, I'm and hobbyist noob, so I could be missing something.
Thank you

well, I think you should import nimPDF/nimPDF, and not only import nimPDF.
this artefact from old days should be fixed someday, it causes a lot confusion

That worked.
I was trying to build/run the pdf_encoding_list.nim example. When I made the changes you mentioned it was able to compile. It ran fine in release mode, but in debug mode I got the following response.

pdf_encoding_list.nim(103) pdf_encoding_list

Thanks again
