Tried updating PyQt5, but it is the latest version

Also shows and internal depreciation for something not in my code though

Makes the window successfully

On click, crashes with error code: Process finished with exit code -1073740791 (0xC0000409)

[snow radish]

can you share the full code?

[noble compass]

This is the full code

from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QDesktopWidget
import sys


class MyWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MyWindow, self).__init__()
        screen = QDesktopWidget().screenGeometry()
        win_size = (0, 0, 500, 400)
        self.setGeometry(*win_size)
        self.move(screen.width()//2 - win_size[2]//2, screen.height()//2 - win_size[3]//2)
        self.setWindowTitle("Stegophone")
        self.initUI()

    def initUI(self):
        self.button_image_picker = QtWidgets.QPushButton(self)
        self.button_image_picker.setText("Pick Image")
        self.button_image_picker.clicked.connect(self.file_manager)

    def file_manager(self):
        dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
        image_path = dir_path + "\\images"
        print("test")



def window():
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    win = MyWindow()
    win.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())


window()

It's missing the import os, but if I add the import os, it runs fine

[noble compass]

I accidentlly imported the wrong lirbrary from a different project...

This is fair

Why the error on .connect then?

And the depreciation?

[snow radish]

I don't get that error

perhaps try PySide2 instead of pyqt

[noble compass]

Well, the code works fine

Now that I imported it correctly

But I'm getting errors that I shouldn't be that don't seem to do anything

Cannot find reference 'connect' yet .connect ran fine?

Issue with PyCharm?

[snow radish]

yeah that's fine too. Due to how connect is set up in the class, pycharm doesn't quite follow the reference properly

It's the same for me

that's also not an error, that's a warning

errors break your code

[noble compass]

Alright, fair

I'll see if it can't just ignore it, seems to work fine

Danke
