Absolute image paths don't work
See original GitHub issueWhich version of the plugin are you using? [x] Data Populator for Sketch [ ] Data Populator for Adobe XD
Describe the bug
Using absolute image paths appears not to work:
{
"title": "chrome.storage - Google Chrome",
"icon": "/Volumes/Data/Work/Projects/Extensions/Tabnado/design/themes/icons/exist.png"
},
The text populates, but the images don’t.
Using relative image paths does work though.
Expected behavior The images would be populated.
Environment (please complete the following information):
- macOS Version: [macOS Sierra 10.12.6]
- Sketch Version [Sketch 51.2]
- Plugin Version [2.3.5 + 3.0.0]
Additional context
I tried also tried with with file:// but that didn’t work.

Yes, my bad. I thought that this path should be relative to sketch file not the JSON file. Thank you for your help.
We’ll add a hint to the documentation and close this issue.
