Missing unit pics?

[Philippe]

It may not be as simple as watching to make sure spaces don't sneak into file names when you're not looking. I had some really weird experiences with reconfigured files refusing to appear earlier this year, and I've successfully renamed literally hundreds of files over the years.

My standard tactic in this situation is to highlight the file, click on rename, copy the contents of the file's name field, delete the original file, and paste the copied name onto the target's rename field. A bit elaborate, but it saves me having to worry about miscounting squoonched together spaces, which can be a real issue when you're long in the tooth and starting to go blind from spending too much time staring at computer screens.

The other approach (which doesn't always work for a whole host of reasons) is to copy your new image directly onto the original bitmap. It can get messy, and for it to work you sometimes have to mess around with the properities of the file: you'll know you have a problem if the file is protected and all your color values seem to change when you try to copy the new image onto the old.

I think there may be more going on in the background than just invisible spaces creeping in. At one point this summer I was on the verge of throwing in the towel on one of my mods.
