Images Missing after Save

twinpix

This has been happening more frequently for me and I'd like to know of others who are experiencing the same issue.

Occasionally, when I save a project and then immediately do a Preview, all of the actors have the pink checkerboard "IMAGE MISSING" displayed instead of their actual image.

I have to immediately quit GS and relaunch to avoid the images getting permanently "missing".

Is there a fix for this or is it a common bug?

GS Version: 0.9.2 Beta
iMac 27" 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5
12 GB RAM
Mac OS 10.6.7

I personally have never come across this issue before. How are the image files named in your project? Can you give an example? The only thing I can think of is that you are using characters in your image names that are not what GameSalad recognizes as valid characters.

Image file names are pretty standard.
fish.png, apple.png, background.png

When this bug occurs, GS also renames my file by adding a tilde character after the filename.

For example, rocketLaunch~ (for a file that was originally named rocketLaunch)

Hmmm, how about the image resolution? Are they all 72dpi and not something like 72.0001dpi?

The added tilde to the file name is strange. That looks like a C or C+ tag of some sort. May need to submit this to the good folks at GameSalad for help. Or maybe re-install GameSalad.

They are all 72 dpi pngs.

This is an issue I've had with several versions of GS so perhaps it's something on my system that's causing it or maybe a bug that others haven't reported. It's extremely annoying but something I've learned to deal with. Thanks for the suggestions, though.
Cheers!
