Images not found in Spine

Carmenabbey

I've got this issue with one specific file only.
When I open this file, some images are not found. Meanwhile they're present in the folder the image path is refering to. The images won't be loaded in Spine until I open the photoshop file in which I make the images (we use an image generator which creates pngs of the layers).
It's fixed for one turn only, because when I re-open the file I've got this very same issue (even though I save etc). I don't have this issue with any of my other Spine files.
What is this?

Hello Carmen, there could be some possibilities for why this happens, so let's tackle them:

when you open the Spine project, is the images folder empty? (if yes, maybe the images generator is the problem)
if no:
Do you have quite a lot of images?
A solution could be to disable limit scanning Editor not loading all the images
if this doesn't solve it:
Are you using images scattered across your pc or are they in an images folder, enclosed in the folder of your project? And are you using absolute paths (paths that start with C://... etc.) or relative to the project position? (something like ./images/ is what you'd want to have)
Even when disabling limit scanning, if the images are to be searched in a bigger folder, this could slow down Spine greatly, this is why enclosing the project in its own folder would be best.
Please let me know if one of these helped or if the problem is elsewhere!😃

Ah, I unchecked limited scanning and it's working now, thanks Erikari!
