Bestiary 1 strange/inconsistent formatting?
I noticed a few odd things in Bestiary 1 after the most recent update. I am not sure if these are bugs/errors but they seemed like odd formatting choices so I thought I would ask here. First of all, Bestiary 1 is listed as "Core Rule" and not "Core Rules" in the list of modules. In other places, it is listed as "Bestiary 1" or "B1" as opposed to "Pathfinder Bestiary 1/2/3." Please refer to (1) in attached image. Secondly, the images tab of bestiary 1 lists MANY more images that the other bestiaries (2 in attached image). It lists the actual monster image, the 3d view and even the "banner" or monster title gets its own image (3 in attached image). The other bestiaries that I own only have the actual monster image.
I am not sure if these formatting choices are intentional (perhaps the books are slowly being updated to a new format?). In the event I find other such inconsistencies, should they be reported here?

Issues with Advanced Bestiary, Tome of Horrors Complete and Tome of Horrors 4
Hi all, I recently picked up the Tome of Horrors books during the black friday sale and came across some issues. In order to be sure, I tested this in a campaign with no extensions except for the official FGU Advanced Bestiary extension. Anyway, when using the ToH books, I noticed that they provided a "template" data record that is recognized by the Advanced Bestiary template factory. I was quite surprised as no other products I can think of (even those that include templates like the PFRPG bestiary) work together with the Advanced Bestiary template extension function. Unfortunately, when clicking on the ToH template data record, the usual fields that would be revealed were messed up (circled in red in attached image). The data fields are also not filled in.. using the templates provided by the ToH books wouldn't actually do anything even without the graphical glitch... Copying the template fixes the issue but I am sure that the data records should not look as they do in the attached image. Additionally, I noticed that the tabs which would normally be present (main, notes, help) on template data records were not visible(circled in yellow). This was the case with both advanced bestiary and both of the ToH books.
EDIT: Further testing has revealed that using the "classic" theme reveals the tabs that are hidden when not using a theme.
Finally, I noticed that neither of the ToH books have an actual reference manual. They both have a sort of "misc ref manual" link that leads to a few story data records (circled in green), but nothing that lets me "read through" the document as I would with a pdf, book or ref manual in other fantasy grounds products. The advanced bestiary also lacks a ref manual, though it does have a series of linked story entries that allows one to /kind of/ read through it - though it isn't quite the same as a book, pdf, or ref manual entry. I am not sure if the lack of reference manual is a bug or not for the ToH books or the Advanced Bestiary but I thought it was worth mentioning.

I thought that this might be an extension problem so I made a fresh campaign with no extensions and only the APG module loaded. I came across the same issue and same error message

I am not sure if this is an issue with those images specifically or if it has something to do with recent updates. Other searches of APG assets in the asset window seemed to function fine but I only tested a handful of terms.
I am getting similar errors on most searches, this one for fire in particular.

The issues I reported two weeks ago are still occurring. Images that do not exist in the Advanced Player's Guide (mostly of spells which do not have pictures) throw errors saying that the image could not be loaded when searching for related terms. If there is no such image to load in the first place, this should not be happening. Is there any progress being made to fix this?
