Is it safe to change image in package contents

Since i wanted to reduce size, i decided to go to package contents and redrop all my images and delete the old one. I am wondering if there would be any issues with this like blank actors etc.

    You might have issues as : the size of the actor is bigger than the size of the image and it might stretch, why you take the risk just rebuild it, it shouldn't take long.

    It keeps saying login to gamesalad creator to publish even when i have done so correctly. If i go through, (once), it keeps redirecting me to the homepage. Cant access portfolio. This is ridiculous

    I know this sounds obvious, but it's worth underling: When you are doing any kind of folder level editing with the GameSalad project file - don't have that project open in GameSalad - in fact close down GameSalad completely.

    I've left a project open - by accident - while playing around with the contents of the image folder, the end result was a little like the bit in 'the Fly' where Jeff Goldblum gets messed up with fly DNA.

    I often replace images in package contents :) You only need to remember about changing your actor/instance size if necessary.

    I tried it and seemed to work when I click preview but it shows invalid image in the actors menu. Might have to manually drop the image over actors agin.... At least the size reduced by 70%!

    if your file name is not exactly the same it will screw it up.

    I just emailed the support about the publishing issue and was amazed how quickly they got back to me, was expecting it to take a few days at least. Thanks Gamesalad for the quick reply!
