[Pro] Why do these things always happen to me?

I’m having enormous difficulty with a simple Freeway Pro 6 file. One page, three images. Two of them are pass-thru, one generated by FWP from a .psd file.

The pass-thru images have similar names:

  sample_image-072ppi-27qual.jpg
  sample_image-300ppi-27qual.jpg

In Freeway Pro, I place both images… they both show up in the Edit > Resources window as being in the file - BUT - only the first image makes it to the Resources folder. Only the first image shows up in the resulting web page. Twice… Freeway Pro is substituting the first image for the second, even though it uses the correct id and alt tags.

This sounds like a program bug to me, but I can’t imagine why I haven’t heard of it before and what I am doing differently than everyone else that I should get these results.

Perhaps less convoluted file names is the norm ;_) and your the first to notice ‘this potential bug’. Does it do the same without the underscores and hyphens ?

Bottom image is the FW generated I reckon.

FW doesn’t particularly like large files to deal with. I never have FW handle anything that isn’t 72dpi and roughly the finished size or general fixed size for everything ie. 575px longest edge (this just happens to be a size I tend to use). There are benefits to allowing FW to handle images.

…less convoluted file names…

My filenames aren’t convoluted at all – they use only legal characters.
I’ve spent a couple hours trying to rule out everything I could think of… I
even tried shortening the filenames - removing “sample_” from the
beginnings - yet still producing the same result.

Again, the html uses the correct id name and alt tag, just not the correct
filename, not even uploading the correct file to the Resources folder.

That is indeed weird. Maybe a file got screwed up someplace. Did you try “Publish Everything” to clean things up? What happens if you delete one or both files and start over with new filenames?

BTW, thanks for your efforts. I suspect you put this together based on an earlier thread I started about image quality. :slight_smile:

Amazing! “Publish Everything” (control-command-p) solved this. Apparently,
I was not kicking the stubborn mule hard enough. Thank you, Kelly!

Yes, I was hoping to put up something to illustrate some of the differences
between device resolution and file resolution.

Awesome! I’m glad I could finally help you. :slight_smile:

We discovered also that the internal database of FW can get corrupt without further notice. The only thing one notices as innocent user is “there is something wrong here and I do not know what”. The latest adventure in this story was about a FW file with quite a few styles, like 100 or so. We could not add more styles, FW dit not accept it. Rebuilding everything solved the problem. At that point one is quite desperate. And lost an hour or two.

Ah; so you also thought the files names might be the source :wink: Glad you found the answer.
