Images not showing in the emulator

[+Ah!]

Hi,use 

Is anyone else having this problem.   I'm working on a cartridge that has several image files.   

Some days ago things changed.   Any new image files I introduce will preview OK but will not show in the emulator.

I get a symbol to show an image should be there - see attachment.

If I use any already installed image files everything is OK.

 

I wondered if this could be related to the problem that many people seem to be having with downloading Wherigo cartridges.

Could you share the images that aren't displaying?

It's any image that I try to introduce now.   Here are some of them.

I think the issue is with how the images are named: TH5432.jpg.edfa1412983abb992fd48ae0f156e936.jpg. Not fully sure what cuases the error in earwigo but try changing the name of each of the images to something short and simple and with only one ".jpeg." Maybe somthing like "1.jpeg" or "discs.jpeg"

 

I uploaded the images as is and they would not display. When I changed the name they displayed fine.

Thanks for your reply.   I renamed the file  DA.jpg with no luck, still doesn't display in the emulator.  The name of the file is just TH5432.jpg  the rest is acquired during the upload to this forum.   I have uploaded DA.jpeg just to see what name it gets !!

Also I have this problem with any file I try to use now, even files which I have used before and worked OK, will not display in the emulator.   I think what has been determined is that very long file names don't work and the problem seems to be at my end.  

I'm going to go and sit in the shed for a while.

Ahh bummer. That is pretty weird that the image worked for me in earwigo but not in your cartridge. I know I suggested this earlier but wasn't sure if you had tried creating a new cartridge to see if the image works in a new Wherigo. The cartridge might have become corrupt. You might also try contacting Geo-Magician, he is the guy that runs earwigo.

Since windows defaults to not showing known extensions, it might still have a double extension. What happens in windows if you renamed the file to just 'th5432' ? will it stil show as a picture/jpg ?

If that is the case windows is hiding the extension, and you should not add the .jpg extension yourself.

Just a few words to make things clear:
1. Geo-Magician doesn't run Earwigo. This is sTeamTraen's work.

2. The problem displayed by the OP is in Webwigo (run by kikinoot), not in Earwigo.

 

[+Ah!]

Well !!   It's a bit like playing Cluedo.     

I tried to contact Geo-Magician - still waiting on that one.   

Redirected by sTeamTraen to this forum.   

Haven't tried the new one yet - kikinoot.   Where's he been hiding ?

 

I think it was GM in GZ with the GPS

The WF site lists who is responsible for what, by the way.

Thanks to all who offered help.   The problem was a browser extension on my computer clashing with the Earwigo script.    

All OK now.
