It works fine for me with 1.2.2cvs, in two different environments:

- redhat 7.1, xforms 0.89.5, ImageMagick 5.2.7, ghostscript 7.0

- tru64 4.0f, xforms 0.88.1, ImageMagick 3.7.8, ghostscript 7.0

Do you still have this problem if the file name does not contain
multiple dots?

Removing the extra periods allows the graphic to render. I hope this will be fixed eventually because it will be very inconvenient not to be able to use periods to make the file names more readable. With hundreds of files, it is difficult to keep track of them with dos-like names.

Thanks.
