My GM and I have been having some problems with the presentation of images in Fantasy Grounds. I will try to break down the problem as much as possible. This problem only happens on new images that are sent by the DM. Other images that have been sent prior to our last game are working fine. For reference: I use FG version 1.05f.
The problem is the image takes forever to load; and by forever I mean that it will never finish loading.
We tried several things to fix the problem:
1. He emailed the image to me, which I then placed in the correct directory. When he attempted to load the image, I noticed that Fantasy Grounds was overwriting the image I already had in my directory, rather than calling the image into the program. The resulting overwritten image contained no data, not even size data.
2. We tried using a smaller image and removing any masks before he called the image. The same problem occured.
3. I decided, on a whim, to set the image as Read-Only and remove the strange "This file is from another computer" dialog that I found in the image properties (some Windows Security setting I have never seen before today). This actually worked and allowed me to view the image, but any new image he sent to me still locked up in the "loading" phase.
It would be a shame to have all images emailed to me then marked as read-only. There has to be some reason why FG is doing this, but I am unable to find it. Anyone have any suggestions?
