A red triangle appears when Arachne can not find the image source... the path to the file is wrong or the name of the file is wrong. Very often in a HTML you see <IMG SRC="picture.gif"> Arachne will look for the image file picture.gif and this file should be in the same directory or have more details how to find it. E.g. "DOWNLOAD\picture.gif" or "D:\DOWNLOAD\picture.gif" In Arachne very often the source is in the 'cache' and has become another name like: "89364251.gif" => you have to rename that file and place it in the right directory so Arachne can find the source... if not you get the red rectangle. If you get that rectangle... press F4 and look carefully for the source of the image. Editting is possible. After editting press F2 and the image will be shown. Example: Joerg made a nice program to convert PDF to BMP, but Joerg uses a G: drive and I use the C: drive. The result is that the BMP images are written to G: which is not on my computer... no problem my computer writes them to C: But for viewing these images the HTML code is: <IMG SRC="G:\ARACHNE\CACHE\page*.bmp"> so Arachne is looking in G: (not on the computer) and because she can not find the image source she displays that red rectangle. Sometimes I press F4 and change G: into C: and press F2 for viewing Sometimes I go to the cache and click at the imagesource directly... in the cache there are page1.bmp, page2.bmp and so on to view with a simple mouse click. (I asked Joerg to change G: for C: in the program to have the viewing smoothly in future... these red rectangles are a bit anoying) CU Bastiaan -- Arachne V1.61, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
