Why did my images disappear?

If you moved your project (.ims file) or your image files, SiteSpinner or Web Dwarf may not find your images the next time you open the project. Instead of your pictures, you will see a light grey placeholder that says "Image Not Found". This can also happen if you change the name of an image file.

The placeholder should tell you the location that it expects the image to be at. If the file name text is cutoff, stretch the object until you can read it.

To correct this problem, you can either move the images back to the original location or point the project to the new location. (The second option is not availble in Web Dwarf).

To tell a SiteSpinner project where the images are, click on the place holder for one of the missing images. Then open the 'Geometry Editor' to the 'Options' tab. In the 'Image File Path' area, you will see the location that the image was last seen.

To change a single image to another location, click on the '...' button and find the image file at its new location.

To change the location of all the images used from the selected image's directory, click on the 'New Dir' button and choose the directory that now contains the images.

If your images were in mulitple directories, you will need to do this once for each directory.
