by default, scribus does not store the images in the .sla file so showing a preview is not really trivial. in 1.5svn there is an image cache... so it may be possible to show a lowres preview for missing images: but it is really needed? on the other side, showing a warning for a missing image, is certainly a must! this is already the case in 1.3.8 (the name of the missing image is shown in red bold letters.) should it be blinking? and in the image manager you have a button to search for the missing image in selected folders. iirc, this tool has already been enhanced in 1.5svn as i've already, written, it's not a good idea to rename an image to clear the content of an image frame and scribus already has a clean way to do it (edit > content > clear). so: are we facing a storm in a tea pot? ciao a.l.e
