Image name changing

[borkman]

I've noticed something weird happening when using Images. With no change to the Image component, the originally generated code:

Code: Select all

image1.SetCurrentImage( "borkman.png" );

goes to this on a subsequent save:

Code: Select all

image1.SetCurrentImage( "image image.png" );

Another image in the same component does something similar changing to

Code: Select all

image2.SetCurrentImage( "image image(2).png" );

Interestingly, the images are display as expected. The only reason I noticed is because I looked at a diff of the changes.

Is this a problem?

I believe it reads in the original file from disk and stores it inside the project as a binary asset. i.e. just a 'blob' of data. This gets interpreted as an display image during run-time.

VMD performs the same process for me, so I wouldn't worry about it.

I could also see see that even reloading the image or replacing it, lets "image(..)" count up.

As utdgrant mentioned VMD seems to not use real image file name internally.

Thanks for confirming. It seemed to be a non-issue, but it was weird that it initially saved and built with the file name and later renamed things. One less thing to worry about!
