Image File Recovery
In cases when Posterino can't find an image used in a Posterino document, the image is replaced by a question mark (formerly yellow X'es):
Also a File Recovery window opens, showing a list of the missing images:
To recover missing images:
To search for missing images, ensure that no individual file is selected and press the
button. If necessary use the command from the table's context menu to deselect all files. A file system dialog will appear where you have the following options:After selecting a folder or a library Posterino will search for the missing images. If an image can be found, it is removed from the list of missing images.
To locate one individual image file, select the file in question and press the
button. This option is useful if the filename of the image file has changed and searching for the filename reveals no results.Repeat this process until you have located all missing images (is possible).
To keep it's document size small, Posterino does not save the binary data of an image used in a document. Instead, it saves a file path pointing to the image file. If you now change the location of the image file, it can happen, that Posterino can't find the referenced image any more.
Some situations Posterino can handle automatically:
And there are situations Posterino can't handle by itself:
However, with a bit of planing you can handle these situation gracefully. For example:
When you click on a file in the list of the File Recovery window, the missing image will be selected in the related document window.
To get an idea what Posterino is looking for, switch on
from the menu. If you now hover your mouse pointer over an image in question, a yellow tool tip will appear (after a short delay) showing detailed information about the image paths Posterino is looking for.
