Code won`t launch in VS code but works fine if launched with python IDLE

Question

zoom=locateCenterOnScreen("zoombar.png", confidence=0.7)
zoombar.png is located at the same folder as .py

This line of code behaves different if launched with VS code of with python IDLE
If launched with VS code we get error:
OSError: Failed to read zoombar.png because file is missing, has improper permissions, or is an unsupported or invalid format

But if launched with IDLE it works fine
How can i fix it to work in VS code, without typing full path of .png`s ( can`t do this because im going to send this code to another person who won`t have exact same path)

Is your visual studio the right version?

Answer 2

Ok, have you got .vscode file in vs?

Yeah, the only problem is that VS cant locate my file if i declare it like "123.png", must be "full_path//123.png".
If i run the code using python shell it works
