Question

I annotated images using roboflow. The dataset looks like it is in the correct format to the example dataset. I moved files around from folder to folder testing every possible combination, but ultralytics still does not locate the images in the zip file.

This is what the exported dataset looks like from Roboflow. I tried moving the yaml file into the train directory aswell and re-zipping it but that didnt work either. Any Ideas?

@BartekTedys hey there! 😊 It looks like you've been thorough with organizing your dataset from Roboflow, but you're still encountering some issues with locating the images. One common hiccup might be the path specifications within the YAML file not aligning precisely with the actual folder structure inside your zip file.

Here's a small checklist to tackle the problem:

1. Ensure the paths defined within the YAML file exactly match the directory names and structure within your zip file.
2. Double-check that the image files are within the directories as specified in the YAML file and that there are no typos or discrepancies.

Without diving into code, these steps usually resolve such issues. If you continue facing difficulties, consider reviewing the dataset structure section in the Ultralytics HUB Docs for further guidance.
